X listing (demolishing) buildings is a great idea, especially for rural areas where unwanted buildings lie forgotten and abandoned, often for years on end. Add your building to this page.
How many buildings can you think of which blot the landscape and need demolishing?
Time and again, we are told by the local planning authority etc that they can't be removed because they
1) cannot be replaced until new plans have been drawn up for a replacement (monstrosity)
2) because they have some 14th century roof (lying rotten on the floor of the building since just after that period) or 3) it's a conservation area?
Nominate a building.
Please Sir, let me start.
The building/barn on the Turner Hill just outside of Askrigg in the Yorkshire Dales (Elm Hill). A village made famous in recent decades by All Creatures Great and Small, and previously painted by Turner (along with the wall that Holiday Property Bond were allowed to decimate because it was too high for a group of holiday makers who come for 1-2weeks holiday a year, maybe). The barn has had to fall down before it can be replaced and yet it is a dreadful blot on the landscape. The National Park could have restored or replaced it in the last 20 years instead of allowing a landowner (who shall remain nameless and RIP Mr T) to let disintegrate in full view of this historic and infamous village (Hartley and Ingleby - The Yorkshire Village as well as Turner and Herriott, amongst many others.)
