Campaigners are continuing a legal bid to save a row of undesignated port buildings that are set to be torn down, as SAVE Britain’s Heritage says North East Lincolnshire Council’s decision to approve the demolition<\/a> of Grimsby’s Cosalt Buildings is \u2018legally flawed\u2019.<\/h3>\n

The BBC writes:<\/p>\n

It claims the authority did not carry out the necessary consultations and has submitted an application for a judicial review of the decision.<\/p>\n

A council spokesman said he believed \u2018the necessary steps\u2019 had been taken.<\/p>\n

Henrietta Billings, director of Save Britain’s Heritage, said: \u2018These buildings need urgent protection and rightful recognition and we are confident they can be retained and reused to regenerate this part of the docks, as part of a wider strategic approach to the site.<\/p>\n

\u2018We have been advised that we have good grounds for a legal review, and are keen to ensure that the demolition is robustly challenged.\u2019<\/p>\n

She said the council had failed to consult Historic England, which has previously described the 19th and 20th Century buildings as \u2018heritage assets\u2019.<\/p>\n

Save Britain’s Heritage says \u2018stripping out\u2019 work has already begun in preparation for demolition and, as a result, it has applied for an emergency injunction to prevent further work.<\/p>\n

The buildings are not listed and are not in a Conservation Area.<\/p>\n

An application by Associated British Ports (ABP) to demolish the buildings in Fish Dock Road was approved by the council in May.<\/p>\n

ABP has said it wants to ensure the port is able to provide space for an expected expansion of the offshore wind industry.<\/p>\n

Speaking in May, a spokesperson said: \u2018The demolition of these buildings will allow clients to expand their businesses and in doing so create jobs and much-needed prosperity for the community.\u2019<\/p>\n
