Same here.
In South Oxfordshire, in a small parish just to the north of the Chilterns. I wasn't involved directly in the discussions with the Parish Council but they apparently were very supportive. What I've taken from this is that anywhere where the land owner is receptive to similar initiatives could potentially quite quickly turn into biodiversity gains given the right community input. I think in our case we were lucky with the orchard as there were retired market gardeners with the right expertise to advise us, and with stream project we were able to get advice for free from professional ecologists who some in the community knew through their wider networks.
