Decision!

The Council have approved the application to demolish the building. Now to secure the bell! I am in touch with the demolition contractor. I propose to make an offer to buy the bell and to ensure its safe removal before demolition starts.

Decision day approaches

A decision on the demolition proposal will be taken on Wednesday 13 December. Despite the objections, the Council's Planning Officers are recommending approval. They say that the design deals with earlier problems which had been used as grounds for refusal of a previous application. I am awaiting the decision with interest. I will be ready for action.
