This was the giveaway in the end.   I thought one of the others was possibly the Rathaus!

That issue has been batted around the courts I believe, and after several appeals... demolition (or part demolition) is indeed the verdict.

It appears that not enough people felt strongly enough about it, and a viable alternative was not forthcoming.

Makes me think that Colwyn Bay Pier could end up the same way.... and maybe other structures in Llandudno too.
If it happened to Pen Morfa, is anything safe?

A house in large grounds is always rich pickings for developers. Unfortunately, Planning Law backs developers in destroying these sort of houses, as replacing one house with 20 small ones (for example) is encouraged.

Seems the (planning) law is an ass!

It seems that there are a lot of mature trees around the building so if any one is against the application the first thing to do is to get the Tree Preservation Officer down to inspect the site. (Contact CCBC )
He will then make Tree Preservation Orders (TPO'S) against the trees that he considers worthy of preservation.  I've come across that situation a few times and it does make developers think twice.

I think that did come into play Hugo, from memory..... but its about a year too late now.

Appeals all exhausted, its coming down.  It may already be demolished at least in part.
