It is of course an offence to demolish or alter a Listed Building without permission, and I trust therefore that you will be reporting this incident to the appropriate authority. However I do not quite see how a consultancy can allow (or prevent) a building owner from demolishing a listed buidling, or indeed carrying out any other action: it is not in their power so to do.
I will be reporting it - trouble is they will probably guess who did it = no more work. I had to get in a position where it no longer mattered.
The pendulum is swinging - the independents/consultants are now the ones shaking their heads at the actions of their clients/heritage managers. They can get away with it because large companies always do,and there is always the issue of the next contract, which is where the power lies.
