Cate Blanchett s plans to build a gallery space for her art collection at her East Sussex home have been approved
The actor Cate Blanchett is building her own private gallery at her country estate in East Sussex, England, to house her contemporary art collection. According to the
Times newspaper, the new building in the grounds of Highwell House near Crowborough has been approved by the appropriate local councils. Blanchett bought the Victorian mansion in 2015.
Planning documents submitted to Wealden District Council dating from October 2020, show that the gallery will form part of a new building designed by Adam Richards Architects of London. The new complex, which will also include a meditation room, will replace a shed and cottage in the grounds of the property.
