Are we still none the wiser as to what's going on at the Norfolk then?

Just had a look on the SMBC planning in regards to Town street, and on the PDF's it clearly states they are plans for "proposed refurbishment works for Libby's". I think they are extending to next door if memory serves me right.
Looks like the Norfolk's future is still a mystery.

I think that refers to Libbys Coffee shop which is 1a Town Street, Marple Bridge.

I don't claim to be any expert on listed buildings consent or anything but I am sure they wouldn't have started the work without all the necessary approvals, especially when it is very obvious to anyone passing that work is going on inside.

Scaffolding being unloaded outside this morning.

Yes, they're quite busy today with scaffold up and a skip in the car park.

law man, I wonder if they took into account these rules in the mid 90s when all the old fixtures and fittings were ripped out thereby precipitating the long and sad decline of the place as a drinking establishment?

If the builders are in have they secured listed building consent ?? - if not then they ought to cease works immediately as they could be facing a £20k fine or 6 months in prison or both ?.
The norfolk arms and maple tree occupy a building that is described as a 'high house' and its protected by a grade 2 listing status so any demolition / alteration work internally / externally is or should be covered by written consent from the LA.
All works proposed will need to have formal approval to proceed, as will any deviation from the proposed plans.
It is vitally important that our heritage is protected as is the nature of marple bridge's conservation status.
The only way this can be ensured is proper consultation with the LA and local groups.

The lights have been on inside the Norfolk and something is afoot in there. It looks like builders might be in.
