Just got an email from the boys at UK Bike Park – Well done!

Planning Approved!!

We’ve just got out of the planning committee meeting where they decided the fate of UKBP – in a nut shell they have approved all our plans!! What does this mean? Well firstly it formalises the change of use from forestry land to a leisure/cycling area. So all riding/building activies are now 100% legal in the eyes of the planners. Also we’ll be moving the cabin into the woods (so we can make it better with decking & awning), a car park in the woods (so you can get out of the car on wet day and step on gravel rather than mud!), and reroute the entrance track so it’s safer for all users.

Would like to thank all those who supported the application including the local landowners, the FC and all you guys with your letters of support and positive feedback. A special thanks goes to Duncan Anderson (it’s his kids who always get on the podiums at races!!), who without, we wouldn’t have got it approved – he has worked tirelessly on the application for over 18 months – Duncan we salute you!!

It’s been a long and difficult process which has taken up lots of valuable time, sometimes it’s been a very close call to losing the park and all that’s been achieved – but it’s all in the past now, so only looking forward to new trails, improved facilities and lots more riding!!

Thanks all and happy Xmas!!
