Friends of Garendon Park

Our vision is that Garendon Park becomes one of the finest designed landscapes in the county, taking note of Stowe, Ilam Country Park and Holkham Hall Park in Norfolk. Restoration was promised by the Borough Council when they gave planning permission for housing in the vicinity. This included public access as part of the planning permit. The work has already begun by Persimmon Homes.

Not surprisingly there are some cross currents and many detailed decisions still to be made. We now have the opportunity to see that we acheive a high quality environment and that details aren't forgotten. There are opportunities to volunteer, particularly checking on wildife and making sure the developers stick to biodiversity plans. .
