Whitmore Hall, Three
Mile Lane, Whitmore.
Mr G Cavenagh-Mainwaring.
Proposed use of
Whitmore Hall and its cartilage as a wedding venue.
|
The Working Party did
not object in principle to the use of the hall and grounds as a
wedding venue but had concerns that they could not make a proper
assessment due to the lack of information. Especially in relation to the potential harm that
could be caused with car parking for up to 100 cars, i.e. damage to
the gardens, verges and tree roots and parts of the house and its
interior. The Working Party also felt
that the view from the church to the Hall should not be interrupted
with a marquee, however temporary, and that it should be located to
the side or rear of the Hall. A more
comprehensive case should be put forward using the English Heritage
guidance on hospitality events to show that full care and
consideration has been given towards the management of such events
at this important heritage asset.
