Looks like reality is catching up with fiction.
The map shows an overlay of new development in Newtown, UK. It sounds like development has already started in the red area, and will expand to the black area.
The marker for “Sandleford Park” is a possible location of Sandleford Warren featured at the beginning of Richard Adams’ book, Watership Down.
In the book and movie, Sandleford Warren is destroyed, killing most of its rabbits, to make way for a six-acre housing development. A real-life local effort opposed this development, but they announced last year they had failed.
The jagged border at the bottom shows the River Enborne that Hazel and his group crossed early in the story.
“Watership Down” (1978) is based on the 1972 novel by Richard Adams of the same name. You can read it for free here (https://archive.org/stream/in.ernet.dli.2015.65825/2015.65825.Watership-Down_djvu.txt)

Mind blown. Just discovered that not only did author Richard Adams see action at Arnhem in #WWII, but that his experience & comrades partly inspired his best known work 'Watership Down'!
