Has HBC cocked up and are they now applying for planning permission on a listed building in retrospect?

Sorry, can't help, but Cllr. Britcliffe mentioned the Market Hall revamp in his Observer column.

He said it was Queen Anne on the outside, and Mary-Ann on the inside.

Well it made me laugh, anyway.
