In 2014, Ashford Borough Council approved plans for a new town of up to 5,750 houses[1] plus a countryside park, a secondary school, four primary schools, a supermarket and a new high street and market square on 1,000 acres of agricultural land around the hamlet.

Some local residents are opposed to the plans and have launched a campaign[2] to resist them.

The area is home to numerous endangered species including great crested newts,[3] water voles[4] and brown hares.
