Central open space, Warwick Gates estate
The OS Landranger map doesn't show any of the Warwick Gates estate yet. The overhead power line was undergrounded after lengthy negotiations between the developer, the electricity company and the planners, under pressure from local people for burying the cable. It runs beneath open space, verges and undeveloped land. Here it's beneath the cycle path. At its northwest end it goes underground by Europa Way
