Little Dunmow is a village situated in rural Essex, England, in the vale of the river Chelmer about three miles east-southeast of the town of Great Dunmow. It can be reached from the Dunmow South exit of the A120 by following the road towards Braintree (B1256) for 3.2km before turning right for the village. The old village, which has just 99 dwellings, is a further 0.6 km along the road. The new village, built on the site of a former sugar-beet factory, will be a self-contained community of 850 dwellings and is another kilometre along the road towards Felsted. The Flitch Way, a linear country park along the route of the old Braintree to Bishop's Stortford railway, links the old and new village. Little Dunmow has an electoral population of about 1250 (2006) divided between the old village (250) and the newer development of Oakwood Park (1000). Oakwood Park will become the new Parish of Flitch Green in May 2008 under proposals submitted to the local authority, Uttlesford District Council.
