The nearby fields to the immediate southeast of Jackton have received planning approval to be the site of a large Community Growth Area (housing estate) which will entirely engulf the small village. The development, creating a continuous built-up area over 1.5 square miles (3.9 km2) to connect with Lindsayfield, will include a primary school and a new link road. There will also be a large roundabout at the current hamlet.
