1405-INT-BH-ZZ-DR-S-0015 S1-P01 received 10.12.2024; 1405-INT-BH-ZZ-DR-S-0020 S1-P01 received 10.12.2024; 1405 SK002 received 10.12.2024; 1405 SK016 received 10.12.2024 and 1405 SK012 received 18.12.2024

This decision has been made for the following reasons(s) It is judged that the proposals within this application would pass the tests of section 16 of the Act as the building's setting and features of special interest are being preserved by the reintroduction of the Bake House Chimney and the proposed lintel works. Although the proposed roof maintenance system would add a modern element that would be partially visible on the building's roofs, the position and form of the system is judged to be such that the building's overall special interest would not be significantly harmed. The application is also judged to be in accordance with Strategic Policy 4, General Policy 2, and Environment Policies 32 and 34 of the Strategic Plan as the proposals would protect and preserve the special interest of the registered building and its setting, respect the site and surroundings, and traditional materials are being used for the chimney and replacement lintels. The application is therefore judged to be acceptable.
