Single-storey extension at The Dovecote, Tetley, Crowle, Scunthorpe
Summary of planning committee decision
Decided by North Lincs Planning Committee on 3 Jun 2026.
What was proposed
Listed building consent was sought for a single-storey extension measuring 5.87 metres long and 3.41 metres deep.
“This did not take place and parts of the grade II listed buildings were demolished to make way for the new builds. PUBLICITY A site notice has been displayed; no comments have been received. RELEVANT PLANNING HISTORY PA/2019/1028: Listed building consent to repair and refurbish carriage house and stable/dovecote – approved with conditions SITE CONSTRAINTS The site is outside the development limits of Crowle.”
Officer report
What officers recommended
Officers recommended consent because the extension would match the existing dwelling and preserve the listed building’s character.
“Policy CS5 of the Core Strategy states that new developments should be well designed and appropriate for their context and contribute to creating a sense of place. Policy CS6 of the Core Strategy seeks to protect, conserve and enhance North Lincolnshire’s historic environment, as well as the character and setting of areas of acknowledged importance, including conservation areas.”
“Planning Committee 03 June 2026 It is considered that the proposed works will meet the requirements set out in the Planning (Listed Building and Conservation Areas) Act 1990. The proposal pays special attention to the desirability of preserving the character of the building and is in accordance with part 16 of the NPPF, policies CS5 and CS6 of the Core Strategy, and policy HE5 of the local plan.”
Officer report
Consultation and objections
The conservation officer accepted the revised design subject to material and joinery conditions, while the town council strongly objected.
“Concerns are raised that the proposed west extension, including the loss of surviving historic fabric such as roof sockets and its overly domestic design, would cause less than substantial harm to the significance and character of the listed buildings and does not align with Historic England guidance on adapting traditional farmstead buildings.”
“Planning Committee 03 June 2026 12/05/2026: Following review of the updated plan, the conservation officer is content that the revised plan is more appropriate due to matching the existing pattern of fenestration. They recommend that, if approved, conditions for details of the external materials and joinery are used to secure the detail of the application prior to works commencing.”
Officer report
