Planning application

Workington Hall, Hall Brow, Workington, CA14 3AN

Withdrawn Cumberland LBC/2026/0021 Listed building consent (Alt/Ext)

Withdrawn before a decision, so it carries no planning weight. A revised scheme can be submitted at any time.

Proposal

The proposed works comprise the installation of new ground-mounted uplight (floodlighting) units to illuminate the external walls of the Hall. This will require buried cable runs to supply the new lighting. Cable trenches will typically be located 2m from the standing structure (reducing to c.1.5m to the north-east) to provide a buffer to the historic fabric and to suit the lighting design. Trenches have been designed to be as small as practicable, subject to the number of cables required at each location. The maximum trench depth will be 0.45m and the maximum trench width will be 0.23m. The lighting has been designed in response to advice from the consultant ecologist

About heritage and listed building applications

Listed building consent is needed for works that affect the special interest of a listed building, and carrying out such works without it is a criminal offence. More in our guide to planning application types.
