   Thanks. This will soon be developed into luxury apartments and as the building is Grade II Listed hopefully the design will nor be altered

   Came across this on a brief visit to Preston on a wet Tuesday afternoon this week. An amazing place - and a great photo.

    The plans were submitted 5 years ago for apartments. However, to date the building hasn't been sold and they have deteriorated quite badly. I have spoken to Nigel Roberts at Preston Planning Department who have requested that the owner submits plans for outline work to carry out essential repairs. To date, 18th Feb 2010 Nigel Roberts is considering whether these repairs are adequate enough to address the problems of the building. The Victorian Society and myself have asked Mr Roberts to consider serving an emergency works order on the owner. This is still being considered but the planning office don't move very quickly. The fear is that these buildings will deteriorate so much that eventually they will have to be pulled down despite the Grade 2 listing. You will not be surprised to learn that the building plot is more valuable to a developer without the buildings! The best thing that could happen is for the buildings to be converted to apartments. Their facade will not be altered.
