Catesby Estates are working on behalf of the Kedleston Estate to attempt to gain planning permission on the grounds of the ‘Grade I’ Kedleston Parkland to build (at this moment in time) 400 houses. Together they propose to gain planning permission to then sell the land to a developer for a considerable amount of money. See AVA/2014/0928

 

The proposed development will consist of a mixture of houses from luxury to social housing, which will all have an impact on the local environment, infrastructure, heritage and local community.

 

The proposed housing development will take over a vast proportion of the Kedleston Parkland and will sit a mere 500 meters away from Kedleston Hall itself; Infringing on this remarkable heritage site of beauty.
