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.

The process from here
Permission has been granted, usually subject to conditions listed on the decision notice, some of which must be discharged before work starts. The decision notice on the council portal sets out exactly what was approved.
Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses. Neighbours cannot appeal a grant; challenging one means judicial review of how the decision was made, within tight time limits.
About heritage and listed buildings applications
How this application type works
Heritage applications concern listed buildings and conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for works, inside or out, that affect the special interest of a listed building, and carrying out such works without consent is a criminal offence. The council weighs harm to the heritage asset against any public benefit of the proposal.
