Conversion of listed building


THE conversion of a barn to form an extension to 17th-century Crowhill Cottage, Worston, has been approved by the Ribble Valley Council’s Development Sub-commit­ tee. Also approved is a scheme to divide an out­ building to form a utility room and garage. • Crowhill Cottage has associations with the Pendle witches and is a listed building. A report to the committee men­ tions that major works will be required but these should be permitted in order to preserve an in­ teresting group of build­ ings on the edge of Worston.
