Flitch Green in Essex, England is a new housing development being built just outside the ancient village of Little Dunmow. Flitch Green is located near the A120 dual carrageway, the village of Felsted and the town of Great Dunmow, the last of which is about 5 miles away. It is located on the site of an old sugar beet factory.
Building of Flitch Green began approximately 5 years ago. The estimated population is just over 1,000. There are few public facilities as of late 2008, but a neighbourhood centre is expected shortly.
Oakwood Park was granted independent parish status in May 2008. It is located next to the Flitch Way, a public right of way between Bishop's Stortford and Braintree where the old railway line used to be.
Flitch Green Primary School, which serves the estate, was opened in September 2008.
