I have done 5 minutes research on the applicant company, Silus Investments SA and find it to be registered in Panama, with its directors and subscribers each having hundreds of directorships of equally obscure companies so I suspect we'll never know who really owns the freehold. One can only speculate that if it's not tied to a tax dodge it may be tied to money laundering or some other dodgy activity. Of course, pure speculation by why else adopt such a corporate structure? So any expectation that the freeholders will give a nanosecond's thought to any of the considerations Phil listed is likely to be unfounded! So any 'resistance' to demolition will have to be via legal/planning means which to me looks like conservation area: listing the building itself seems a bit unlikely. I'm not sure what the considerations are for conservation area status - perhaps again the Adams or local councillors may have a perspective? Not sure I would die in a ditch to conserve Sofa Workshop. |
