You can bulldoze a Grade II building?

You can bulldoze a Grade II building?

 

Yes, if you get the relevant permissions.

Come on, more signatures are needed.

Like everything else on this land, rules are made to be broken.

 

Why give buildings a Grade 11 listing if it means nothing.

[Ousetunes 10]

Signed.

 

It's the kind of vandalism this clueless council has become renowned for.

Does "Public Opinion" know what it wants doing with the building long term?

 

Or is this just another one of those buildings (like the one on Exchange Place) that people say they don't want knocking down, but don't really have any future use for?

 

The City Council are being left with various "listed" / "preserved" obstacles like Castle House in the city as it is.

[jaffa1 10]

Why doesn't the University just gut the inners and renew and then clean up the shell of it.

It's been done on many other old buildings in other towns.

[steamnratbag 10]

There is a link here to a website which debunks the arguments which the university and council are using to justify their plans. It also illustrates how it could be used.

Why?

 

So it can stand rotting like the rest of Sheffields "historical buildings". Old buildings are not practical, and will not be used again, so will stand empty and rot to the point the are unstable and have to be knocked down, probably at the expense of the council.

 

Let someone buy it, pay to have it knocked down, and rebuild something that will be used for another 100 years.
