Unfortunately true.
There's another planning application on Tuesday (Town Hall, 9.30) about the proposal to demolish the former Bedford Cinema in Walton.
English Heritage won't list it, despite the fact the exterior is one of only about five in the UK that date from the first year of building cinemas.
Just before Christmas workmen took hammers to all the decorative plasterwork on the facade, because the Planning Committee asked them to consider incorporating the facade in the new development.
I'll go on Tuesday, but I'm not hopeful.

Only by accident - certainly not by design.
