So from this perspective what should be done when a historic, landmark building befalls a curiously unfortunate fate? Curious, especially so soon after it changes hands.
If, for example, some kind of foul play was suspected, should everyone just shrug and say c'est la vie?
And what then, say, the landowners, in possession of a vacant and cleared plot of land, apply to do something like, maybe build an automated car wash, or a mini mart? Is that a sensible use of money rather than a waste?
Frankly it boils my blood that in instances like deliberate mature tree felling, people think they can ride roughshod over protection orders or preserved heritage buildings and then effectively get their own way once the 'problem' has been obliterated.
In this case it was an accidental fire, so the insurance will have paid out and surely the devastated owners will want the building replicated? Isn't that how it goes? Actually, just saw there's a criminal investigation, so scrap that 👻
