Development History
November 1992: The house was uroofed after World War II and now stands as an ivy-covered shell in a field. The masonry remains generally intact to the wallhead. January 2000: Local planners are unaware of any change.
January 2008: External inspection reveals the building is a ruined shell which would benefit from works to consolidate and protect it from structural collapse.
18 June 2013: Local planners confirm the owner of the property remains Mr Hall.
17 October 2013: Site visit attempted, but building could not be accessed.
