VILLAGERS hope to raise thousands of pounds in a fortnight to continue fighting a country estate’s housing plan. Many residents of Staindrop and Gainford, in County Durham, opposed plans by Raby Estates to build a total of 151 new homes on land it owns at both villages. Objections included the loss of greenfield land, building outside the settlement boundaries, road safety and flood risk but, in December, planning permission was approved for 72 houses at Winston Road, in Staindrop, and 79 off Spa Road, Gainford. The housing schemes got the green light from Durham County Council on the grounds they were ‘enabling developments’ that would pay for work at Raby Castle, Park and Gardens – which aims to become one of the region’s leading tourist attractions – and restoration of Grade I listed Gainford Hall.
