Demonstrating the curtilage of the listing to secure consent for part-demolition.
We were instructed to advise on the demolition of a dilapidated outbuilding to the rear of a listed building.
Through careful research into the ownership of the site and family history, we were able to demonstrate that the buildings were not curtilage listed.
The extent of the listing had previously stood in the way of earlier attempts to demolish the hazardous building.
Our assessment of the site confirmed that the significance of this building was minor and that demolition was the only option available.
