Not much remains of the Plaza Hotel following a devastating, albeit suspicious fire, and even less will be there soon.

This week city council will consider granting a heritage alteration permit to the building’s owners which would allow them to demolish any remaining infrastructure.

OMG seriously? Please tell me that the property owner at least doesn't have to pay for this ridiculous bit of bureaucracy.

Did the fire get a permit for the heritage it altered?

i wouldn't call it a heritage building anymore.. more like heritage rubble pile..  i can understand needing a permit to clear out the rubble (it could cause some lanes to be blocked,needing to bring in heavy equipment, effect air quality stirring up all the dust....) i'd rather see it gone (after the full investigation has been done ofcourse) then remain a burned out pile for months on end...  and what happens to the lot after it's gone.. no need to rush that..

In the Plaza thread it explains what is being retrieved and retained.
