Owner Seeks Consent for Urgent Repairs to Grade II-Listed Restaurant Building

A restaurant owner is seeking retrospective listed building consent from Malvern Hills District Council for emergency work on a Grade II-listed building in Tenbury. The business, Singapore Garden, has been closed since a fire in December 2023 and has subsequently faced repeated flooding. The owner stated that the building's frontage is currently in a 'critical, highly vulnerable, half-stripped state' following the removal of exterior paint.

The owner described the situation as an 'acute, time-sensitive structural emergency.' The owner warned that delays in securing consent could have 'catastrophic consequences' for both the building and the business. The owner stated that bankruptcy is a possibility unless urgent work can be completed.
