Summary
The applicant wants to replace the heating system at Old Hall. The work includes new log boilers, pipes, controls and changes inside the basement.
An outside boiler and chimney pipe would be removed. The existing chimney would have new liners, which could affect noise, smoke and views nearby. The work is at a protected old building.
The council will study the plans before making its decision. The supplied details do not say whether the heating work has already started or been approved.
