Harrow Council has approved plans to restore The Rookery, a Grade II listed Georgian mansion and stables in Stanmore, which had been severely damaged by previous owner’s unlawful renovations. Original plaster was removed and inappropriate decor applied, undermining the building's heritage. New owners took possession in 2022 but halted all work due to conservationist interventions. The approved plans now call for a full restoration to preserve historical features and allow exploration of the building’s significance through its architectural layers. This restoration highlights the importance of preserving historical authenticity in heritage sites.
The Rookery's restoration represents a significant opportunity to delve into the building's unique history and architectural development, enhancing its historical value.
Approval for restoration work comes after previous unlawful alterations damaged the Grade II listed building, revealing the importance of obtaining permissions for historic sites.
