Stop demolition of Cotebrook House in Lymm.
Stop plans to demolish Cotebrook House (formerly Oughtrington House and once owned by the Dewhurst family) because it is an important part of Lymm's culture and history, a Lymm landmark and a beautiful building surrounded by attractive woodland.
Why is this important?
To demolish this important historical house to make space for 12 more modern new-build houses would negatively alter the landscape around St Peter's church, which can be seen for miles around. To use the excuse that the houses will help solve the housing crisis just doesn't wash. Lymm is being built over so rapidly that if all other areas were to be developed this quickly we would end up with millions more houses than people! Cotebrook House is part of Lymm's history and we do not want it to be demolished. Restore it, by all means, and make use of it but do not destroy it and build over it - and it's wooded gardens - with more ugly new-build houses.
