A new village for the television soap Emmerdale is to be built on a famous country estate. Yorkshire-Tyne Tees Television yesterday won approval to build the village film set in the grounds of Harewood House, near Leeds, home of Lord Harewood, a cousin of the Queen.

The new set will be used to film outdoor scenes of the programme. The television company has agreed to contribute pounds 50,000 a year to a conservation fund for the estate.
