It is thought to be more than 150 years old and is a local landmark
He told councillors: “It may have stood for 150 years but it doesn’t now sit in accordance with current building standards. The only reason we want to reduce the height of the chimney by 6m is to retain the chimney and maintain what we can of it.”
The applicants said they’d initally pledged to keep the chimney, because they’d previously been unaware of how structurally vulnerable it was. Abestos and surrounding buildings had made it difficult to get to its base, the meeting was told.She said: “It’s a heritage structure. Like it or lump it, we can’t erase history. I just think we need to explore every opportunity before we make this a ‘yes’ or a ‘no’ answer. The site does have architectural merit. I do think this chimney is worth saving.
But Labour councillor Neil Walshaw was one of six members of the plans panel to decisively vote in favour of removing it. He said: “Multiple different sources of engineering expertise have come to the conclusion that the most reasonable course of action, to maintain the heritage, is the approach that’s been set out.
“A considerable number of people are going to be living round this tower and I don’t think they want the chimney accelerating to meet them at 10 metres per second. I think they want a safe chimney.”
