Summary
Someone has applied to carry out works to The Old Forge in Eastbury. No description of the works has been provided, so it is not clear what changes are proposed. The Old Forge is a protected old building, one of ten such buildings within a short distance of each other in this small village. The site sits right on the bank of the River Lambourn, just a few metres away. It is also within the North Wessex Downs, a large area of protected countryside. Because the application is for a protected old building and key documents appear to be missing, the council will need to look at this carefully before making a decision.
