The future of a more than 300-year-old Nottinghamshire hall has been decided
after decades of 'false starts'.
The scheme, which was recommended for approval by council planning officers, was greeted with excitement by members of the planning committee who wished to see the building's future settled after a series of failed plans. Councillor Andy Freeman: "[I] welcome the application, its really good to see a building like this come into use after so many years.
As the committee went to vote, a councillor asked if members could put up two hands in approval, to which chairman Mr Blaney quipped "let's all wave them". The vote approved the planning application and associated listed building consent application unanimously. Historical figure Sir Thomas Markham settled at Ollerton in the latter part of the 16th century and his family is credited with the original hall. Sir Markham was a Member of the House of Commons for Ollerton and for a period served as part of Queen Elizabeth I's household.
