Decision details

Listed building consent for the restoration of Riseholme Hall Stablesat the University of Lincoln's Riseholme Campus - to be determined in accordance with application reference 134780, at the University of Lincoln, Riseholme Park, Riseholme.

Neil Foster, of Riseholme Parish Council, was pleased with the upgrade to the stable block and would like an Historic England buildings record completing.  Whilst the restoration was to be sympathetic, the wider application proposals were unclear, and the Parish Council were open to continued dialogue with the University.

Alex McCallion, agent for the applicant, reminded Members of the poor condition of the stable block as seen on the site visit, which although architecturally significant, was merely used for storage.  The buildings had been subject to a mixture of repairs of varying quality, and it was proposed to replace all of these.  The original plan was to be retained, original features including the clock face restored, and the historic fabric preserved.  There had been no objections from statutory consultees.

Whilst the Listed Building Consent being sought was part of a wider application the proposals were to be considered on their own merit.  The remaining proposals had been deferred for further local consultation.

The proposals for approval of Listed Building Consent were moved and seconded, and on being voted upon it was AGREED that permission be approved subject to the conditions as set out in the report.
