An organisation designed to protect architecture has objected to plans to rebuild an historic A-listed Glasgow home which was pulled apart amid safety concerns.

The 170-year-old west end property at Kirklee Terrace Lane was “taken down by hand” in February when walls “failed”, according to contractors CBC Stone.

It has emerged that proposals to rebuild it – which were lodged amid an outcry from locals – will not reach a public Planning Applications Committee of local councillors because only five objections were submitted.

Council officials are given delegated powers to determine applications unless six or more people raise concerns.

There was the required six objections at one point but a council spokesman said one objection was “withdrawn”.

Among those raising concerns are residents of Kirklee Terrace Lane and The Architectural Heritage Society of Scotland.

Council planners will now be asked to green light a retrospective application for the ‘partial demolition of dwellinghouse and erection of replacement dwellinghouse’.

Michel Soukop bought the property for £605,000 in 2014 and was given the green light to upgrade it shortly after.

It was revealed in February that there was very little left of 11 Kirklee Terrace Lane after contractors pulled apart the building.

Contractors CBC Stone claimed that the walls “failed” during the work and had to be “taken down by hand”.

A report attached to the planning application said: “These works to the front, gable and rear elevation were all carried out within a very tight timescale, between the 8th and 14th February 2016, and although we acknowledge were outwith the intended scope of original consents, we consider were carried out in good faith and to maintain a safe working area.”

Former owner Alan Crumlish, who lived at the property for 30 years before selling it to Mr Soukop, said: “There is now very little left of the original structure and to talk about in the present tense as a listed building is simply wrong.

“All that can happen there now is a new house will be built in the style of the listed building, which does undermine the whole due process of listing and conservation.”

A council spokesman said delegated powers “allows for decisions on planning applications to be made by officers which speeds up the process and allows decisions to be made at an appropriate level".

He added: “The delegated powers have certain conditions limiting in some instances when decisions cannot be made by officers. One of these exceptions is where there are six or more objections from third parties. In this event the application would be required to be determined at the Planning Applications Committee.”

A spokesman for contractor CBC Stone declined to comment.

The owner of 11 Kirklee Terrace Lane, Mr Soukop, could not be reached for comment.
