Many English cities have modern estates abutting the greenbelt, these estates can easily be spotted because they are still fresh looking, although cramped.

The field contains oil rapeseed (Brassica napus) which in its midlife forms a dense matt which forms patterns like (static) ocean waves and which is almost impassable.

This field was part of the NIAB site. It was developed as the second phase of the Franklin Gardens site, with work on the housing starting in 2025.
