Vandalism by children is being blamed for a second application to Worcestershire County Council for permission to demolish Harrington House at Badsey.  Two years ago, the then Minister of Housing told the owners – three businessmen from the village – that the building was of special architectural or historic interest and that it could not be pulled down to make way for development.  Now, Evesham Rural District Council is asking Mr H M Watson, the County Planning Officer, if he will lift the preservation order which protects the property.

Harrington House, Badsey, must not be demolished by its owners, three businessmen from the village. The Minister of Housing has ruled that it is of special architectural or historic interest.  Accordingly, the Minister has confirmed a preservation order made by Worcestershire County Council in respect of the property.
