Development History
August 1990: Local planners report that the doocot is unused, but is in good condition. It sits within Huntly Lodge Farm. December 2007: External inspection reveals the doocot to be in unsecured and in poor condition. Although relatively protected from elements due to its sheltered location within a farmyard, it is particuarly vulnerable to vehicle impact damage. The parapet and masonry generally needs early attention.
October 2010: External inspection finds no significant change from the previous site visit.
16 October 2013: External inspection finds there are now significant vegetation growths at roof level.
