TUDOR FARM, EARNING STREET, GODMANCHESTER

HL Deb 09 February 1988 vol 493 cc198-9WA

Lord Renton

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they are aware that Tudor Farm, Earning Street, Godmanchester, a listed building in the area of Huntingdonshire District Council, has fallen into a state of disrepair and requires considerable expenditure, and whether they will make a statement.

The Minister of State, Department of the Environment (The Earl of Caithness)

Proposals for the refurbishment of Tudor House or Farmhouse, Earning Street, Godmanchester were notified to the Secretary of State in September 1986 by Huntingdonshire District Council. The applications were not called in for his determination and listed building consent was given by the council in October 1986. No subsequent approaches about the building have been received by my department. I understand that the council has taken steps to secure the repair of the building, which is now for sale.

Grant aid for repairs to listed buildings is available in appropriate circumstances from various bodies, including English Heritage and district councils, but no application has yet been made in respect of this building.
