East Riding of Yorkshire Council, Regina (on the Application of) v Hobson: Admn 18 Apr 2008

The authority appealed by case stated from the dismissal of its complaints that the defendant had altered a listed building. He had been given permission to carry out certain works, but had in effect demolished and rebuilt the property.
Held: Had the prosecution been mounted as the works progressed, the works would have been shown to have altered the character of the buildings, but the final building did not have that characteristic. The district judge had been correct to allow for this and the appeal failed.
