County Council. Buckton Fields In 2007, proposals were submitted to build a large housing development on Buckton Fields, land which sits within the Boughton parish to the south west of the village. An archeological survey of the land in 2013 identified features associated with post-medieval agriculture; an early World War 2 searchlight battery and a mid 20th century rubbish pit. After some revisions and public consultations to the original proposals, the planning application was approved by Daventry District Council in 2013 and work commenced on Phase 1 ("Buckton Fields East") in 2015 in a joint venture between Martin Grant Homes and Bloor Homes. By 2020, Phase 1 was mostly built out and occupied, closely followed by the start of Phase 2 ("Buckton Fields West") which was still in development as of 2022. In September 2021, Buckton Fields Primary School opened. Plans for Phase 3 were submitted by Taylor Wimpey in 2021 and work commenced in 2022.
