‘Gayfere’, South Norwood
Our historic buildings team have recently sought and secured the delisting of a grade II listed building in South Norwood. CgMs were initially involved in providing a Historic Building Assessment for the owner of the listed building which was used to support a listed building and planning application for substantial alterations to the building. Consent was granted for the works and following advice from CgMs an application was made to the Department for Culture Media and Sport (pre April 2005) to de-list the building. CgMs highlighted that in light of the numerous alterations which had been made to the building in the past and following the recent consents which had been granted, the building no longer satisfies the criteria for listing. The English Heritage advisors report (on which DCMS based their decision) stated that “Gayfere has been too altered and extended from its c.1800 origins to qualify for statutory listing and the part of 1850 additions are not of special architectural interest”, as identified in CgMs’ Historic Building Assessment
So hire a 'Historic Buildings Consultant' to get your plans for spoiling your building past the local authority, then apply to have it delisted on the grounds your recent alterations have spoilt it so it it isn't worthy of listed status...
Barking really.
