URGENT - MK CITY PLAN 2050 - POSSIBLE WHADDON VILLAGE IMPACT.

Milton Keynes City Council has just published their latest version of the MK City Plan, in which they propose building some 1000 new homes at Shenley Dens Farm, beyond Oakhill Wood, just to the north of Whaddon village, up to and before 2050. Many residents will recall that this same site was also proposed back in 2003, but was deleted by the then MK Council, following many objections (mainly on landscape grounds), and a strong rebuttal by the Planning Inspectorate. Clearly the developers - supported by MKCC - are trying again to bring this site forward as a major development proposal.

Anyone interested in responding to this public consultation will have until October 9th to make their views known, and it is planned that WPC will provide more detail in due course on how best to do so, but for now interested residents may like to consider the implications of this expansion site by inspecting those parts of the specific policy 'GS19 Shenley Dens Strategic City Expansion' within the draft plan and Key Diagram by visiting :-

https://milton-keynes.moderngov.co.uk/documents/s19212/MK%20City%20Plan%202050%20Regulation%2018.pdf

The relevant important pages are :-

32 - 35 'Movement and access' and 'Principles for Extensions to the City'

45 - 46 'Shenley Dens' - Policy GS19 - 1000 approx. new homes.

The 'Key Diagram', showing the Plan proposals (and the Shenley Dens site - in purple) is not within the document but can be accessed separately at:-
