Works start on Bernard Morgan House

It seems that some initial works will start on Bernard Morgan House this long weekend.  The suggestion is that this will involve putting up hoardings and preparing the interior of the building for demolition.

There may well be some noise

It was suspected that demolition was about to start, but the City says no:

Any works undertaken inside the building do not require permission.  In order to demolish the building the applicant would have to apply to the City of London Corporation for a determination as to whether prior approval would be required for the method of demolition.  This would give the Corporation the opportunity to regulate the demolition and minimise the impact of that activity but would not enable the Corporation to prevent demolition as the building is not in a conservation area and is not listed.  An application for prior approval has not been received.
