Another Place, The Lake, Watermillock, Penrith, CA11 0LP
Removal of existing stone slate cladding and replacement with hung slate cladding
The Watermillock Planning Committee met yesterday, after a site inspection with the General Manager of the Hotel. It was accepted that the existing cladding has to be replaced, but there was a recommendation that the owners should reconsider their proposal to clad with imported slate; the preference of the committee would be a rendered finish to match that on the older part of the Hotel. Failing that, wood facing or stone cladding would be more acceptable than imported slate which would not naturally dull as Westmorland Slate does.
