Who we are
Established in 1969, Burghley House Preservation Trust (BHPT) is a charity dedicated to the advancement of historic and aesthetic education and the preservation of buildings of national importance, including Burghley House. Burghley also has a centuries-old commitment to the town of Stamford. We continue to invest in the town as a landlord, a host to visitors and events, and a curator of its fabulous open spaces for the enjoyment of all.
GummerLeathes is master developer. GL creates beautiful, sustainable new places where every resident can thrive.
BHPT and other landowners own land to the north of the town that has, since 2016, been allocated in the South Kesteven District Council Local Plan. The charities are developing this land together, to provide 1,350 new homes and significant public infrastructure for Stamford. The proceeds from this development will go towards our collective charitable endeavours.
Our vision for Stamford
Burghley, the other landowners and the local community share a love of the town. We are passionate about its future. We share a determination to provide homes for local people, to improve public services in the town, to invest in local infrastructure, and to preserve our countryside for future generations. That is why, at Stamford North, we are planning a range of wonderful new homes for households of all sizes and budgets, a focus on sustainability and nature recovery, beautiful and purpose-led green spaces, easy access to sport and healthy living, and outstanding educational provision.
It is important to us that the land we have released is developed in ways that help realise our vision. This is why we have appointed GummerLeathes as master developer for Stamford North. We are committed to plans led by community, landscape and thoughtful architecture. We are committed to the highest quality of planning and execution. Our mutual, overarching, aim is to create a place that will become a cherished part of Stamford.
