English Heritage has voiced disappointment at the decision of culture minister Margaret Hodge not to list Birmingham’s Central Library in Paradise Forum.
The heritage adviser said the building, designed by John Madin and opened in 1974, deserved Grade II-listed protection. The Government disagreed but has stipulated the building cannot be demolished until 2013 as part of the city council’s ambitious proposals for the redevelopment of Paradise Circus.
