Whitehouse is a district and civil parish that covers a large new development area on the western flank of Milton Keynes. As the first tier of Local Government, its community council is responsible for the people, living and working in this area of Milton Keynes.

As of January 2019, it is bounded by Calverton Lane (the Monks Way (H3) alignment) to the north, Watling Street (V4) to the east, Dansteed Way (H4) to the south, and a hedgerow line[b] from Calverton parish to the west.[1] The district covers 228 hectares (560 acres) (including open space) and is projected to have 4,400 homes and 6.5 hectares (16 acres) of employment land.[2]

Origins[]

The (greenfield) land it occupies was previously part of Calverton, a rural parish 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.[3] Along with the adjacent parish of Fairfields (and Broughton on the eastern flank), this is the part of the implementation of that decision.

Etymology[]

The district is (to be) built on land that was originally Whitehouse Farm (and other farms).[4]

Electoral ward (Borough)[]
