A terrible example of why permitted development demolition rights need to be removed asap.
URGENT - we have discovered that KMS Estates Ltd are attempting to fast track demolition of Mappin's Coffee House, bypassing the planning process underway. This important building could be lost in days unless @SheffCouncil intervenes with an Article 4 direction to protect it.
