HC Deb 22 May 1980 vol 985 cc356-7W
Mr. Campbell-Savours

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether listed building consent was given with respect to the removal of part of a roof and further works to the rear of Strathearn, Castle Gate, Cockermouth.

Mr. Monro

I understand that the owner of this property carried out certain works which involved the removal of part of a roof without applying for listed building consent.

Allerdale district council subsequently requested the owner to make various alterations so as to make the works more harmonious with the listed building.

The latter proposals were advertised in the local press on 16 February. My right hon. Friend the Secretary of State recently informed the local authority that it could determine the application.

Mr. Campbell-Savours

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether listed building consent was given in respect of the demolition of two outbuildings to the rear of 2 Castle Gate, Cockermouth.

Mr. Monro

No. I understand that the matter is to be considered by Allerdale district council on 30 May.

Mr. Campbell-Savours

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether listed building consent was given in respect of the part demolition of Allerdale Court Hotel, Market Place, Cocker-mouth; and what were the details of that permission.

Mr. Monro

No. I understand that some demolition has taken place without listed building consent. Allerdale district council is looking into the matter.
