It is bounded by Calverton Lane (the Monks Way (H3) alignment west of Watling Street), Watling Street (V4), the Ridgeway (H1) reserve route, and a hedgerow line with Calverton CP.[2] The district covers 123.5 hectares (305 acres) (including open space) and is projected to have 2,220 homes and 9 hectares (22 acres) of employment land.[3]
Origins
The (greenfield) land it occupies was previously part of Fairfield Farm, in Calverton, a rural parish that is now just outside the Milton Keynes urban area. In 2004, the Government decided on the further expansion of Milton Keynes and accordingly designated land on the eastern and western flanks for this purpose.[4] Along with the adjacent parish of Whitehouse (and Broughton on the eastern flank), this is the part of the implementation of that decision.
Notes
- The parish did not exist at the time of the 2011 census. Its small population was included in the census for Calverton.
