Flitch Green is a small civil parish in Uttlesford, Essex, England, created from a planned housing development on the edge of the historic market town of Great Dunmow in the early 2000s. The settlement is largely residential and family‑oriented, with a primary school, community facilities and local shops, and is popular with commuters because of easy road links to the M11 and Stansted Airport.
Although the parish itself is modern, it sits close to long‑standing local traditions such as the Dunmow Flitch and benefits from the amenities and character of nearby Great Dunmow. Surrounded by typical Essex agricultural countryside, its economy is driven by small local services and commuters rather than industry, and local governance established in the 2000s has helped forge a distinct community identity.
