Action is needed after the chimney of a Victorian terraced house in a Pendle conservation zone was demolished without permission or the owner’s knowledge, councillors are being told.
It adds: ” The work was carried-out by the tenant without the knowledge or permission of the property owner. The dates given are therefore approximate dates.” It adds: “The site is a mid-terraced dwelling adjacent to the M65 motorway in the Whitefield conservation area. The proposal is for the removal of the internal and external elements of the chimney.
“The council’s conservation area planning document sets-out the importance of chimneys as a feature in the roof-scape of Victorian terraced properties. Given that the remainder of the row has the chimney stack and pots intact, the removal here creates an imbalance in the terrace’s uniformity. Before it was demolished, the chimney did not create a shadow or any other problem for anybody. It should be rebuilt, planning officers say.
