"It needs one high-profile case to be taken the whole way as suggested above to discourage the next bunch of chancers."

One high-profile case I remember very well was the demolition of Kensington Old Town Hall carried out at 3 a.m., the day before the building was due to be given listed status.

The Royal Fine Art Commission condemned the action as "official vandalism... decided upon covertly, implemented without warning and timed deliberately to thwart known opposition".

The 'chancer' in this instance was the leader of the council. He got away with it. To rub salt into the wound, the cost of the new town hall far exceeded his original estimates.
