\u2026 we don’t yet know that these Grade II* listed buildings are safe from harm\u2026<\/span><\/em><\/h2>\n

Local Government Lawyer writes:<\/p>\n

The Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings (SPAB) said that its challenge over the proposed scheme for the Willoughby Almshouses in Cossall was based on Broxtowe\u2019s \u201cfailure to notify the society of an application for listed building consent that would \u2018irrevocably harm\u2019 the unique buildings, despite the council having a legal duty to do so\u201d.<\/p>\n

It added: \u201cThe council\u2019s acknowledgement is promising, but we don’t yet know that these Grade II* listed buildings are safe from harm. We now await final confirmation….\u201d<\/p>\n

The Society claimed the developers\u2019 proposed scheme for the almshouses, which were built in 1685 as smaller homes for individuals, would reduce the seven homes to four large houses through internal demolition work and rear extensions \u201cthat would leave them almost unrecognisable\u201d….<\/p>\n

The Society said it hoped that the case would serve as \u201can important reminder to all local authorities that they must notify the SPAB and other National Amenity Societies of any planning application that involves total or partial demolition of a listed building \u2013 in accordance with the 1990 Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act\u201d.<\/p>\n

A spokesperson for Broxtowe confirmed that the local authority would not be defending the claim, but said it was unable to comment any further whilst legal proceedings were ongoing.<\/p>\n
