Quotes

"It is feared that the top part of the spire is so badly damaged that it will need to be replaced."
"Grants from other organisations may be available to support the restoration of the Manor House - the Council is very willing to work with prospective purchasers to explore any such opportunities from English Heritage or the Heritage Lottery Fund."
"We wish him all the best with the awards and are pleased to have been part of the restoration project."
"Whilst it would be clearly visible from some of the properties and/or their gardens, the separation distance, together with the location in a generally open landscape, would be such that the turbine would not be so visually intrusive as to make the outlook unacceptable."
