History
Clay extraction and brick making commenced at Newton Longville Brickworks as far as back as 1897. Land filling with predominantly inert waste commenced by the start of the 1970s and was operated by the then landowners London Brick Company. Following the closure of the brickworks in 1984 Shanks Group acquired the site, and in 1989 sought revised planning permission to fill and restore the excavated site which was eventually approved in 2002. Approval was subject to new access being constructed to the east of the site to allow tipping in this area. The consent comprises two planning permissions as the site falls within both Milton Keynes and Buckinghamshire boundaries.<ref name="FCC Enviornment" />
