Hearing of Crooked House Rebuild, postponed after appeal by the Supreme Court of Owners – Irvine Times

An implementation notice requiring the pub to be restored “to recreate it as much as possible on the demolished building” was served by Adam and Carly Taylor and the company secretary of the Warwickshire-based ATE Farms LTD by South Staffordshire Council last February last year last year year last year last year last year.

Hearing in front of the planning inspector had to start considering an appeal against the announcement of re -construction next month.

The Council claims that the destruction of the pub in Himli, near Dudley, two days after it was gutted by a fire on August 5, 2023, is a violation of planning control.

In a statement published on Tuesday, the Council said: “The Supreme Court’s challenge was filed by the owners of the curve house to challenge the refusal of the planning inspectorate to postpone the public investigation into the implementation of the planning.

“The Council of South Staffordshire is extremely disappointed to announce that after the challenge of the Supreme Court, which was held on February 5, 2025, the planning inspectorate today, February 11, 2025, confirmed that the public investigation will be conducted.

“This means that the public investigation of the Curve House for the appeal, scheduled for March 11, 2025, will now not continue as planned and will probably resume when the criminal investigation of the fire in the curve is completed.

“The South Staffordshire Council works very hard to prepare for the public investigation and to protect the implementation notice published in February 2024, but now it has exhausted all roads to see this public investigation, as planned in the way planned in March 2025. “

Staffordshire police said in July last year that six people arrested in connection with the fire had been released from their guarantee but remained under investigation.

The arrested were not identified, but during their arrests were a 66-year-old man from Dudley, a 51-year-old man from Buckingham, a 33-year-old man from Milton Kanes, two men from Leiceshire at the age of 23 and 44, and a woman of 34, also from Leicestershire.
