Harry Potter star Rupert Grint is fighting villagers to build an 'eco-Hogsmeade' next to his £5.4 million mansion. The actor is trying to develop an eco-village near his luxury property but has had considerable pushback from locals.
The famous actor, best known for his role as Ron Weasley in the hit film series based on JK Rowling's books, has asked his council's permission to build 15 new homes on his estate. Grint's family has applied to North Herts Council to create six apartments in an existing building called 'The Lodge'.
The planning application also mentions building five sustainable new builds and four affordable homes on their Kimpton Grange estate. The developer behind the project claims the proposal will enable “sustainable building from construction to day-to-day running”, reports Herts Live.
