Development History
15 August 2012: External inspection finds a generally sound little building but with very damp walls and timber windows and door which are rotting. From what can be seen through the window, the building is not in use.
13 July 2015: External inspection finds the door now off its hinges and propped inside the building. Otherwise, the condition of the building remains much the same as seen previously.
18 February 2016: Local planners advise replacement windows/ doors have been approved and being fitted. Moved to Restoration in Progress.
