Ah yes, so the Council made an order, the legitimacy of which was confirmed by a specific review, just because... they hate private property? They are drunk on power? :eyeroll:

Councils in England ultimately have this kind of power to maintain the character of an area, and they use it. There is nothing scandalous or new about it.

Sarcasm and changing the subject may convince casual readers, but it's actually not particularly effective argument, and I won't be distracted by it.

What is your citation for the claim that "they were not free to demolish it" once it was "in the process of becoming" listed?

[toyg]

The fact that they were ordered to put it back, and that the decision was upheld after review. I'm sure you can find more details yourself on the council website, or if you ask them. That is, if you're actually interested in the topic and not just arguing about it on ideological grounds from somewhere far away from the UK.

So in other words, you don't have one. This would have been so much easier if you'd just been honest up front.

So, in other words, if you keep thinking the Earth is flat, the Earth really will be flat. Alright.
