Homes in Castle Donington

Castle Donington's housing runs from medieval timber-framed cottages, such as 7 and 9 The Moat, to Georgian and Regency red brick with slate or clay tile roofs. Very little was built between 1850 and 1920, and inter-war building was mostly scattered along Park Lane. After the war the power station and East Midlands Airport brought a number of estates around the old core. The conservation area dates from 1972 and was split in 2023 into Castle Donington and High Street, with Article 4 directions now on houses. That matters for outside lights and chargers.
