MP seeks to "call in" the Lady Anne's Hotel redevelopment plans - 15 July 2009
Planning | Press Release | Stamford
QUENTIN DAVIES MP URGENTLY APPEALS TO SECRETARY OF STATE TO CALL IN PLANNING PROPOSAL TO DEVELOP THE LADY ANNE’S HOTEL AND TO ESTABLISH A PLANNING INQUIRY
Quentin Davies today issued the following statement, “I have written to the Secretary of State of Communities and Local Government John Denham as a matter of urgency to ask him to call in this planning application, and establish a Planning Inquiry so that the extremely grave heritage and aesthetic aspects raised by this proposal can be considered with the seriousness they deserve.
English Heritage have also objected to the proposed extension to the Lady Anne’s Hotel. I have looked at the proposals very carefully and have visited the site and entirely endorse their objections.
Stamford itself is renowned treasure – the first conservation area in the country and the setting for some notable historical feature movies. We must make every effort to preserve this first building of Stamford, which is a very notable feature of our eighteenth century stone town.
The southern entrance to the town (from the old Great North Road) is particularly striking. It is the only example I know in England where the traveller drives straight from open countryside into an eighteenth century street. This must be preserved for future generations to enjoy.
