PROPOSALS to repair and recover parts of the roof of the Grade 2 listed Lymm High School building have been given the go-ahead by Warrington planners.
The work will involve pitched slated roofs, flat felted roofs and replacement and repairs to roof lights and rainwater goods.
Originally Oughtrington Hall, and believed to date from around 1830, the building will undergo work that is more than a simple refurbishment of the existing fabric, as it is proposed to provide insulation to the room which will raise its height.
However, the difference in height will be indiscernible when viewed from ground level, the borough’s development management committee was told.
The work would allow for the continued use of the building and its viability in the future.
Planners also granted Listed Building consent for the work to be carried out.
