In a statement, the council confirmed have taken over maintenance of the site from Iver Parish Council and have confirmed that they will continue to work with local residents and community groups including the Friends of Iver Heath Fields and local contractors.
The council have also confirmed that they will be working with The Chiltern Rangers who provide habitat management, including woodland management and ditch clearance.
Iver Parish Council still owns part of the site and has erected a new fence along their boundary line and will continue to manage the land in their ownership.
South Bucks District Councillor Luisa Sullivan, Portfolio Holder for the Environment, said: "The maintenance of this important open space will benefit local residents and we look forward to working with local groups to enhance the biodiversity value of the site. There are no plans to develop the site or sell it to Pinewood Studios, contrary to local rumours.
"The Council is committed to providing accessible open space for local residents and visitors and will continue to maintain this important site for recreation and biodiversity.
“A management plan will ensure the ongoing conservation of the site and we welcome use of the site for dog walking, informal football games and other recreational activities."
