The Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings has criticised the plans
The wait over the future of 'one of Nottinghamshire's most precious buildings' has continued as the local council faces legal proceedings. The Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings has taken legal action against Broxtowe Borough Council after it gave permission to create homes at the rear of the Grade II* Willoughby Almshouses in Cossall.
"We have the unanimous backing of the planning committee and considerable support from local residents, including people who live next door to it. It is a fantastic building - it is definitely one of the most precious buildings in Nottinghamshire, easily. "It's not just the Parish Council, it's everyone who lives anywhere near them, who supports it. The front of the building and the wall will not be changed," she said.
