Plans for Glinton Village Manor House Development Advance with Listed Building Consent

A significant step forward has been taken in plans for a housing development on the grounds of a village manor house in Glinton. Despite concerns from the Peterborough Civic Society and Glinton Parish Council, listed building consent to convert and extend the Grade II listed dovecote building on the site has been granted. This decision paves the way for the full planning application for nine homes within the former farmyard area, which is still awaiting a decision from Peterborough City Council.

Key Takeaways:

• The listed building consent was granted on May 8, allowing the conversion and extension of the Grade II listed dovecote building to form one of the homes.
• The proposed design of the roof and ridge feature were found acceptable by the council case officer, despite concerns raised by the Peterborough Civic Society and Parish Council.
• The works are considered to sustain the special architectural and historic interest and significance of the building, and are therefore considered acceptable.
• The full planning application for nine homes within the former farmyard area is still awaiting a decision from Peterborough City Council.
• Permission for a similar development on the site with 10 homes was refused in July 2022 due to proposed alterations to the listed dovecote building and the loss of historic fabric.
• Alston Country Homes undertook further pre-application consultation, which led to the reduction of the number of proposed homes to nine.
