Current controversy

As happened earlier[5] at Bow Brickhill to the south of Milton Keynes, a US speculator has bought agricultural land at Abbey View near Sherington Bridge, divided it into domestic sized plots and is attempting[6] to sell these off as suitable for future self-build development, although the land is zoned agricultural and may be expected to remain so for the foreseeable future - the Council's 25-year plan (to 2030) projects that it will remain so.
