Hi Chaps
This isn't really one for the Inspector (we can't blame them for everything }
).
Its a buildings issue and so its down to EHs built environment staff (of which there are more than archaeology staff as EH is building biased).
The regional EH office is Bristol, here are the contact details :
29 Queen Square
Bristol, BS1 4ND
Tel: 0117 975 0700
Fax 0117 975 0701
E-mail: southwest@english-heritage.org.uk
From my (rather limited) research it seems the local council cannot really do anything as the building is not in a conservation area, so there is no requirement to get planning permission for demolition. It is completely down to EH and the listing bods. It does seem that EH has already looked at this building and declined to list it. It is even possible (though I don't know if this is the case) that a immunity from listing has been given by EH (I have been plagued by one of these on a case).
