\"\"Northwich\u2019s Mond House could be saved from demolition as assessments on whether it should be classed as a listed building begin at Historic England (HE), writes The Northwick Guardian<\/em>.<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

The Northwick Guardian<\/em> writes:<\/p>\n

The 19th century building located at Winnington Works is currently subject to a planning application submitted to Cheshire West and Chester Council by Tata Chemicals Europe, who own the site and wish to flatten it.<\/p>\n

Historic England, which advises the Government on whether a building has special architectural and historical interest, has confirmed that it is considering a separate application to list the historic building, which has stood on the site since c.1899.<\/p>\n

This was submitted by local residents, who believe that the former office building of the Brunner Mond works is a symbol of Northwich\u2019s industrial heritage and should be preserved.<\/p>\n

When contacted by the\u00a0Guardian<\/em>, a spokesperson for Historic England said: \u201cWe can confirm that we have received an application to list Mond House at Winnington Works.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are in the early stages of considering the application.\u201d<\/p>\n

Listing marks and celebrates a building’s architectural and historic interest, and also brings it under the consideration of the planning system so that it can be protected for future generations.<\/p>\n

The older a building is and the fewer the surviving examples of its kind, the more likely it is to be listed.<\/p>\n

Historic England advises the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport on whether a building has such special architectural and historical interest to merit national listing.<\/p>\n

The application to list Mond House was submitted by Lee Siddall and has received the backing of other members of the Winnington and Castle Residents Voice group, which he founded.<\/p>\n

\u201cMond House was something that was brought up at the public meeting over the future of the Winnington Works site,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cMany residents want to save this historic building.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are hopeful that the councillors will be firmly on board and will do everything within their power to stop this historic and iconic building from being demolished.\u201d<\/p>\n

The campaign to save Mond House has also received the backing of Weaver Vale MP Mike Amesbury.<\/p>\n

On the issue, he added: \u201cMond House is an important part of Northwich\u2019s heritage, and in my view, it should be preserved, protected and modelled into any planned development.<\/p>\n

\u201cNorthwich has a rich history, and it is extremely important that we protect that legacy as well as provide essential infrastructure, there should be no reason we can\u2019t do both.\u201d<\/p>\n
