The owner of the former Grosvenor Hotel building has pledged to ‘review the plans’ for the building after Bristol City Council took the company to court to order it to make the site safe.
Nimish Popat, from a company called Earlcloud Ltd, was in court today (Monday, November 28) to hear magistrates grant the city council a dangerous building order. It requires the owner to make the Grosvenor Hotel safe, either by knocking it down or by propping it up with specialist scaffolding.
Bristol Magistrates' Court heard that the building, opposite Temple Meads station, is in an even more dangerous condition than ever before following the fire of October 18. Magistrates were told the facade was ‘at risk of collapse’ because the floor and roof structure have ‘largely collapsed’.
