The Grand National may have been called off, but the Earl of Derby has pulled off a remarkable victory against the odds near one of Britain’s premier horse-racing venues. The scion of the Victorian prime minister has won an 11-year battle to build 400 homes on his stud farm near Newmarket. As well as the construction of 400 homes, Lord Derby’s proposal also included two access roads. We look forward to bringing the new homes to Newmarket, which so many people require.’Lord Derby’s development vehicle is named after the 1924 Derby winner Sansovino. It was the first time in 137 years the race had been won by a horse owned by the Earl of Derby.
