Granted Cumberland CLDL/2026/0001 Certificate of Lawfulness of Proposed Works to a listed building

Works: Roofing Windows or glazing

Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.

Proposal

The works comprise like-for-like repairs solely intended to reinstate the building to its pre-damage condition without altering its architectural or historic character. The proposals include: • Repairing the slate roof using existing slates, with any losses replaced using matching diminishing slate (green slate), and re-bedding the stone ridge in lime mortar. • Rebuilding the east gable end in local red sandstone, matching the existing material as closely as practicable and using lime mortar in accordance with Historic England guidance page 18. • Reconstructing the collapsed chimney on its original footprint using Cherwell Terrace blend brick - Furness, constructed in an NHL mortar to match the appearance of other lime work, with 5 replacement chimney pots matching the originals. All associated leadwork will be completed in keeping with historic construction methods and lime mortar as gable end. • Replace timber sub frame like for like from window surround in gable elevation. • Rebuild the inner wall using C20 brick to match existing.
