- 1 The Square Greta Bridge Barnard Castle DL12 9SDAwaiting decisionConversion of the existing North-East Elevation window opening to form an external doorway, installation of an independent stone stair, landing and handrail, and associated internal alterations at No. 1 The Square, Greta Bridge.Received 13 Oct 2026DM/26/02618/LB
- 1 The Square Greta Bridge Barnard Castle DL12 9SDAwaiting decisionApproval sought for a wood stove flue / chimney to exit a conservatory (not listed) roof but attached to a listed building (Grade II, UID 1322729). National grid reference NZ 08615 13133. The application follows the recommendation by Sophie White in your planning team in her letter to me of 7 Sept 2026 (ref PREHOU/26/01892). We want to install a wood stove in our kitchen given the impending winter and damp issues in our Grade 2 listed building. The stove will be located in the conservatory (which the Heritage England website notes is not listed:'Late C20 sun-lounge extension at south end of No1 is not of interest'). But is attached to the listed building and will alter the look from the south slightly. In consultation with our experienced contractor and in line with the suggestions from your planning team we can confirm that: - there will be no invasive work to any of the fabric of the listed historic building. The chimney flue will exit through the Conservatory roof. For reference, your planning team gave permission for the Conservatory in question on 7 Feb 2020 (ref DM/19/03571) - I can supply a copy if needed; - the flue's length and width will be the absolute legal minimum to minimise the prominence of the feature; - the flue will have a matt black powder finish so it is an exact match to the current historic guttering and down drain-pipes; - the installation will be by a qualified and competent contractor with extensive experience of doing this type of work on listed buildings in Co Durham. His name Neil Fawcett from the Darlington based 'Stove and Fireplace Centre'. There is no problem with any access issues as the stove and flue can simply come through our front door and I have spoken with the neighbours who are happy with the proposal.Received 8 Oct 2026DM/26/02395/LB
