But, the rights to develop were sold to, Sutton Garden Suburb Limited, in 1913. The original Master Plan covered a much larger area for 1000 houses, to be built around greens and woods. By 1912-1914 seventy-nine houses had been started on site, to Cavendish Pearson’s plans but they failed to obtain permission from the Local Government Board to borrow further money in the winter of 1914/1915. The Government also intervene put a stop to all house building in 1915, following the outbreak of the First World War.
