You're right Bob.....on another posting I mentioned that the owner of the Warehouse was some ex-pat colonel living out in Hong Kong or somewhere similar & no one has been able to contact him.....I think the hotel should be far easier to deal with.
If the location was just somewhere else, then the buildings would make a super residential development - unfortunatly, air pollution locally rules out that oppoutunity.
It may well be that with the large residential development on the old Lodge sight then the Council will come to their senses and do something about this shocking eyesore which blights the main road at Church.
