Maps

This is an interactive map of Burton Green based on Google maps. Google maps already shows basic information for all local amenities. The customized map shows some additional information, and also shows many additional features.

Features shown on the customized map include brief historical details about most of the properties in Burton Green, public footpaths, the projected areas for housing development, areas of historical interest, Parish boundaries, and other features.

Using the Map

The use of the map should be intuitive. 

You may first need to click on the Tools box at the top left corner of the map.

That will then display a list of overlaid maps which you can then select. To select any of the overlaid maps, tick the required maps.

For example, ticking the box labelled 'Public Footpaths', will display all of the footpaths in the Parish. 

  

You can enlarge the map by clicking the full screen symbol at the top right corner. You can zoom in to a particular feature, by clicking the '+' icon several times, and dragging the map to the area of interest. For more information about any feature, you can either click on a label in the scrollable list of features, or click on an icon on the map. 


Planning Map

The Planning map shows areas designated for major housing development projects and the A46 link road. More detailed original maps, specific to each individual development, can be seen on these pages:
Burrow Hill Nurseries Plan
Westwood Heath Housing Development
Cromwell Lane Housing Development
A46-A452 Link Road
HS2 Compensation Zones

The area for a proposed Solar Farm is also indicated on the Planning Map although this scheme has been abandoned.


Public Footpaths Map

Shows the public footpaths and rights of way, as indicated on the Ordnance Survey.

Amenities and Buildings Map

The colours of the individual icons on the Buildings Map indicate a date for each group of buildings, normally when those buildings first appear on an Ordnance Survey map, as follows:

Medieval	1885	1905	1925	1935	1953	1966

Individual properties may also be viewed by typing an address into Google Instant Street View


People (1841) Map

This map is based on the Tithe Map, and the 1841 Census. The icons show the name of the head of each household. In some cases clicking on an icon shows other members of each household. Not all names from the Census are shown. In some cases it is not possible to associate a household with a specific location.

In a few instances there are apparent discrepancies between the Tithe Map and the Census.

Manors and Parish Boundaries
 
The Manor and Parish Boundaries map illustrates the relationship between the boundary of the Parish of Burton Green, that was formed in 2011, to the 3 former Parishes... 




The outer boundaries of the parishes shown on that map are purely schematic.


Historical Development of Burton Green

This map is derived from the interactive map and uses the colours of the buildings icons to illustrate the progressive development of Burton Green.

The oldest areas are those starred mauve. Old Burton Green was the circled area on the Western side of this map, along Hob Lane. Most of that area lies outside the present boundary. There was also a separate area of early development around Hurst and Bockenden, the circled area in the East. That area was not formerly part of Burton Green.

The dark red squares show development during the 19th Century, which was along Cromwell Lane and Hob Lane. The green squares show early 20th Century development, along Cromwell Lane. The blues square show late 20th Century development - infill along Cromwell Lane, and new developments along Red Lane.
