Summary
The owner of Woodham House East, a protected old building in Wroughton, has applied to repair and restore its chimney stack. The work would involve fixing failing render and putting the chimney pots back in place. The house sits in the protected historic area of Wroughton village, and there are five other protected old buildings within about a minute's walk. The closest — Woodham House itself — is right next door at 17 metres. Because this is a protected old building, the council must be satisfied that the repair materials and methods match the historic character of the building. Two supporting documents are currently missing from the application.
