Kellington Designated Service Village

Kellington is situated just over 2km from the A19 west of and north-west of Eggborough. The A645, linking Kellington directly with the larger town of Knottingley, lies just to the south of the village.

Kellington is a compact, medium sized village, with a concentration of estate development in the northern and central portion. There is no perceivable central focal point to the village and views to the east and open countryside are very much dominated by Eggborough Power Station.

St Edmund’s Church to the west of Kellington dominates the skyline when viewed from the village and is a particularly fine Grade I listed building contributing significantly to the setting of this village where the contrast between built development and open countryside is particularly apparent. St Edmund’s has Norman origins pointing to the long history of settlement at Kellington.

Kellington has a small Post Office, a newsagent/general store, two public houses, a village hall and primary school. Whilst only a very limited number of jobs are available in the village, there are employment opportunities nearby in Eggborough, at Kellingley Colliery, and at Knottingley, and Castleford. There is a Monday to Saturday, daytime bus service to and Pontefract

Locating Potential Development The village has been designated as a “Designated Service Village” where its range of services and facilities are sufficient for a range of daily needs activities, although there is no particular “village centre”.

Flood risk plays an important role in Kellington, and land all around the west, north and east is in Flood Zone 3. Pockets of Flood Zone 1 exist, but land to the south is largely flood free.

Development southward must ensure that a gap is maintained between Kellington and Eggborough.

Several sites have been promoted for development and are shown on the map overleaf, and an explanation about the map is on Page 38.
