Here's a couple of items from the 1947 Plan. First is a plan for the development of Woodchurch. Second is a plan showing proposed land uses. 1= Proposed permanent agriculture 2= Proposed residential 3= Proposed industrial 4= Proposed public open space
From this we can see that Durley Drive was going to be housing & industrial development on the other side of the railway (but separated from housing by public open space). It's significant that the whole of the Landican area was to be kept as farmland. The new Woodchurch Rd. roundabout is shown & the line of what is now the M53
