Council has instructed that prior to consideration of a proposal that includes demolition of an "A" listed building, a formal independent consultant's report on the physical condition and economic viability of retaining the building be reviewed by the Director of Planning. The report is at the expense of the applicant. Council reaffirmed this policy on April 18, 1991.
