Quadbiking centre given green light to stay in Bucks home
Planning | Blog
A quadbiking centre in Buckinghamshire can continue operating in its existing home after retrospective plans were approved, following our support.
Quadrenalin Quadbiking Centre has been based in Great Firs, Great Brickhill, since 2015 and has gained a reputation as a popular outdoor adventure facility in the local area, with consistently high ratings on Google, Facebook and TripAdvisor.
Buckinghamshire Council has approved a retrospective planning application to change the use of the land to a quadbiking facility with associated tracks, training area, ancillary buildings and landscaping.
Owner Alex Schiff said: “We are truly delighted and relieved to have secured retrospective planning permission. The centre has become an important part of the area, providing jobs for 15 staff members, many who live nearby, and creating opportunities for people to connect and enjoy the outdoors.
“The positive feedback we regularly receive reflects how much people value what we offer. We’re proud to have supported local schools and charities through donations and vouchers over the years, and we’re excited to continue giving back while welcoming even more visitors to experience the fun and adventure we’re known for.”
Quadrenalin Quadbiking Centre welcomes all abilities, providing training before hitting the courses and offering a variety of packages, including thrilling treks with hill climbs, mud sections, twists and turns, as well as corporate team-building activities, stag and hen dos, kids’ birthday parties, and family sessions.
Sachin Parmar, planning director, who led the proposals, said:
“The development supports rural enterprise by creating a business that bolsters the local economy while being thoughtfully designed to blend into the countryside.”
“The site is well-screened from the highway and its dark green buildings, combined with the natural undulating terrain, help to minimise visual and noise impacts.”
“Beyond its economic contributions, the facility has a profound positive impact on visitors, including those with disabilities and mental health challenges, by promoting healthy outdoor activities that relieve stress and improve wellbeing.”
“It also serves as a hub for teambuilding and community connection, offering an invaluable space for people to come together and enjoy the rural environment.”
