The development is to be known as Chilmington Green. The road was subsequently named Image

This green lane is a byway that should lead to Cuckoo Lane near Singleton. Some of it still exists but some sections are blocked and impassable. This section leads to Washford Farm Road.

Due to the construction of the Stanhope Estate in the 60's a byway leading to Cuckoo Lane from Chart Road,has been left to overgrow and return to nature.

The road forms part of the Chilmington Green development and the Image shows its junction in September 2017.

Harrow Way meets the main road leading right to Chart Road or left to Long Length road.

Road access is from behind via Frittenden Close.
