Aristocratic owner of castle ruins and manorial court in North York Moors applies to extend events venue

Owner of castle ruins and ancient manorial court in the North York Moors applied to extend events venue by converting a nearby barn

They said the scheme was a natural extension to facilities at the site designated as Grade I listed, due to its exceptional national, architectural or historical importance.The castle, some of which is in ruins, is still the venue for the ancient Danby Court Leet manorial court, which meets in October, but whose functions are now restricted to the management of common land.

The agents state the new buildings “are undoubtedly essential to the continuing commercial development of Danby Castle”. “Where extensions are required the design policy has been to ensure that these additions actually enhance the overall appearance by removing or disguising some of the less satisfactory alterations and extensions done in the past.”

After assessing the proposal, a building conservation officer for the authority welcomed the re-use of the redundant barn, in principle, saying it would enable the site to function as a complete venue space.
