When it has 10,000 houses – it’s a TOWN!
“Garden villages scheme gets cash boost
An extra £1m has been put behind the garden villages programme, taking the total government funding on offer to £7m.
Housing minister Gavin Barwell urged councils to apply for the money as “we want to ensure everyone has an affordable place to live and that means we’ve got to build more homes”.
The scheme assists the development of new villages of between 1,500 and 10,000 homes planned around green spaces.
It already supports developments planned at Bicester, Didcot, Basingstoke, a site near to Braintree, Essex, and the former RAF Deensthorpe airfield near Corby, Northamptonshire.

Well, it would have to be a VERY large village green to get 10,000 houses facing onto it. So there would be a lot of green-space and room for leisure activities.
A quick calculation suggest that you would need (say) 100km of frontage for 10,000 houses, so the village green would be over 31km in diameter, with an area of almost 800 sq km of leisure space in the middle – a village consisting of a national park surrounded by a row of houses. I suppose the good news is that no house would be overlooked by one opposite – indeed even with the most powerful telescope your neighbour opposite would not be able to see into your bedroom due to the curvature of the earth!
