Owner William Browne-Swinburne has applied to Northumberland County Council to convert the redundant boathouse. Subject to approval, they plan to add a small extension. Documents supplied to the council from the owner claim: “The Boathouse offers a great opportunity to enhance the economy in this very rural part of Northumberland. Furthermore, it brings an opportunity for more people to enjoy access to a place which, until now, has been entirely private”. The application claims that there have been no public objections yet as “the boathouse cannot be seen from the village except by one or two properties which overlook Sir Edward’s Lake from some distance”.
