Clements House, 14-18 Gresham Street, 25 Milk Street and 10-11 Wood Street, EC2, by Trehearne and Norman, Preston and Partners,1954-7.

We are requesting an upgrade for:

Creak Vean, Feock, Cornwall: Team 4, 1964-7, II
The original owner, Mrs Brumwell, has recently passed away and the house is most probably going to be on the market in the near future. EH had originally recommended a GradeII* listing, which was turned down by the then Minister Tony Banks. We are writing to the DCMS to request the upgrade.

Pen Pits, Penselwood, Somorset: PJB Harland, 1935, II
This modernist flat roof house built for the composer Arthur Bliss is in very original condition and we have requested an upgrade to II*.

Not upgraded:

Miramonte, New Malden, Kingston Surrey: Maxwell Fry, 1936-37, II: The DCMS has turned down our request to have the listing status upgraded to II*. Apparently there have been too many alterations over all to justify a higher grading.

Delisted:

Odeon Cinema, Pilgrim Street, Newcastle Upon Tyne, by Frank Verity and Samuel Beverley, 1931. This cinema was listed at Grade II in October 2000, to be taken off the Statutory list 10 months later, an obvious affront to the listing process.

Cherry Orchard, Lisvane, Cardiff, Wales: Sir Perry Thomas, 1939-40. Another similar situation: The building was listed without an internal inspection, then delisted again a couple of months later because of internal alterations.

Going to appeal:

Golden Lane Estate, The City, London: Chamberlin, Powell and Bon, 1953-7, II
An appeal has been lodged against the refusal of LBC for the retention of new wall between bedroom and lounge erected without prior consent.

Success! Keeling House by Sir Denys Lasdun, 1955-9, II*

The Secretary of State has dismissed Lincoln Holdings‚ appeals against Tower Hamlets‚ decision to refuse LBC to convert the water tank into a triplex penthouse. He has taken the same view as us, that the conversion in itself is not controversial, and that the proposed architectural treatment was.
