11 years - the lifespan of a building?

15 new jobs to be created by new Lidl store in Grimsby | Grimsby Telegraph



Lidl have obtained planning permission to demolish a supermarket built in 2005, and to replace it with a new supermarket.





One of the councillors said:  ""My heart goes out to the residents of this area. They get more construction on a site that has already had construction," he said.

"Lidl should have got it right the first time.""

"the North Lincolnshire Central Library has reportedly expressed an interest in keeping the object."

Make ABP and other former public sector bodies protect historic buildings.  

Grimsby was once the largest fishing port in the world. Associated British Ports (ABP) is demolishing the 19th century buildings at the heart of the historic port of Grimsby. ABP have permitted development rights - no planning application is needed.

ABP was formerly the British Transport Docks Board. Other industries formerly in the public sector have legal duties to consider historic buildings (e.g. in Water Industry Act 1991, section 3 and Electricity Act 1989, Schedule 9). The law should be changed so that ABP (and other bodies formerly in the public sector) are subject to similar duties.
