***UPDATE 14/01/2025***
A planning application has been made for a new local centre at Tattenhoe Park, at the junction of the V1 Snelshall Street and Twain Way, under the reference number PLN/2024/2733. Click here to view the details (opens in a new tab)
***UPDATE 15/10/2024***
Construction has begun on a new play area near Priory Park Pavilion. The park will feature equipment suitable for a range of age groups, and should be completed by Christmas, depending on weather conditions. The work is being carried out by Milton Keynes City Council, and is not currently intended to come under the Parish Council’s management, however residents should feel free to contact us if they have any questions.
Elsewhere on Tattenhoe Park, residents may have seen a notice regarding a licensing application for a Sainsbury’s store. As yet, we have not seen any details of where that store is intended to be located, but it is likely to be at the site earmarked as a local centre, where Twain Way joins Snelshall Street (V1). We will provide updates as we receive them.

Tattenhoe Park is still in the process of being constructed, becoming an increasingly vibrant and diverse community within the parish.
As with many grid squares in Milton Keynes, aspects of the estate’s infrastructure will be delivered piece by piece, including play areas, allotments and a local centre. Each section of Tattenhoe Park is subject to applications and amendments by different construction companies in collaboration with Milton Keynes City Council.
It is likely that portions of the developed area will eventually fall under the responsibility of the Parish Council, but the timeline for this has yet to be determined. The Parish Council has a voice in the consultation process for the applications for each phase of the development, but ultimately we cannot dictate or block any element of the construction on land which is not under our control.
Click here for the Tattenhoe Park masterplan, approved by Milton Keynes Council in 2017. This plan has undergone some amendments in the years since it was originally approved, but it is a reasonable overview of the planned development.
