Origins
The land it occupies was previously part of Whitehouse Farm, then part of Calverton parish. In 2004, the Government decided on the further expansion of Milton Keynes and accordingly designated land on the eastern and western flanks of the city for this purpose. Along with the adjacent parish of Fairfields, this district is part of the implementation of that decision.In addition to Whitehouse Farm, the development area also includes part of the lands of the former Shenley Dens farm. The farmhouse still exists and is a Grade II listed building, just outside the edge of the current development area but within the parish boundary.
There are two other farms in the south-west of the parish, Shenley Grounds Farm and Weald Leys Farm., both are outside the development area.
