Burgh Heath & Kingswood

The residents of Kingswood & Burgh Heath have joined together to form an action group to protect the vital Greenbelt space that runs between the villages.

​

The residents of Burgh Heath & Kingswood became aware of two major developments of Canons Farm in June 2025. 

​

If the developments were approved then it would have a huge and detrimental impact on the communities and the greenbelt space that all residents enjoy at Canons Farm. 

​

The Farm is presently tended by tenant farmer Michael Jelly. The Farm itself is steeped in history going back all the way to paelolithic times. 

​

Deer frequently use the farm and the fields proposed for development, as a transit corridor across the greenbelt.

​

Rare species of bird not seen for over 125 years have returned to the Burgh Heath-Kingswood farm land and we have also been informed by Canons Farm Birdwatchers Group, that nesting barn owls occupy the Ash tree right in the middle of the proposed development.
