'''Fairfields''' is a neighbourhood and civil parish that covers a large new development area on the western flank of Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, England. As the first tier of Local Government, the parish council is responsible for the people who live and work in this area of Milton Keynes.
It is bounded by Calverton Lane (the Monks Way (H3) alignment west of Watling Street), Watling Street (V4), the Ridgeway (H1) reserve route, and a hedgerow line with Calverton CP.<ref>{{cite web| url=http://statistics.data.gov.uk/doc/statistical-geography/E04012184|title=Fairfields|publisher= ONS|accessdate = 22 January 2019}}</ref> The district covers {{convert|123.5|ha}} (including open space) and is projected to have 2,220 homes and {{convert|9|ha}} of employment land.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.milton-keynes.gov.uk/planning-and-building/growing-mk/western-expansion-area-wea| title = Western Expansion Area (WEA) | publisher = Milton Keynes Council | date =4 June 2019 | accessdate = 16 October 2016}}</ref> At the 2021 Census, relatively early in its development, the population had reached 2,536.<ref name="Census 2021" />
==Origins== The (greenfield) land it occupies was previously part of Fairfield Farm, in Calverton, a rural parish that is now just outside the Milton Keynes urban area. In 2004, the Government decided on the further expansion of Milton Keynes and accordingly designated land on the eastern and western flanks for this purpose.<ref>[https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2004/jan/06/regeneration.immigrationpolicy Milton Keynes to double in size over next 20 years]{{snd}} Peter Hetherington, regional affairs editor, The Guardian, 6 Jan 2004</ref> Along with the adjacent parish of Whitehouse (and Broughton on the eastern flank), this is the part of the implementation of that decision.
