As the demand for new houses increased, Bourne started to extend out into the fen where developers were given permission in 1989 to build 300 new homes on thirty acres of agricultural land on the eastern end of Mill Drove, the streets being named after Second World War locations including the Battle of Arnhem in 1944 and the Burma campaign. The buyers have included a large number of retired people from the south east anxious to escape from escalating property prices in the London area.
