13/00403/FUL

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.
