This 25-hectare Suitable Alternative Natural Greenspace (SANG) was established in 2020. The purpose of this and other local SANGs is to avoid increased recreational pressure on the Thames Basin Heath Special Protection Area (SPA) from new residential development by providing alternative recreation areas that offer a similar experience to the SPA.
The land was formerly agricultural fields that came out of arable production in 2016. Following establishment of the SANG, the site is being managed in accordance with a SANG management plan for the benefit of people and wildlife.
