This empty half-built relief road was at the centre of a dispute between Buckinghamshire Council and developers over the number of affordable homes planned for nearby Wilton Park, where the carriageway abruptly terminates. The Bucks Free Press carried a report on the stand-off in September 2018. https://www.bucksfreepress.co.uk/news/16862169.revealed-inland-homes-threatens-withdraw-plans-350-homes-wilton-park-refuse-build-section-much-needed-relief-road/
