Section 111s are broadly similar to Section 106s , but are often made when Councils are the owner. A new Section 106 agreement was drawn up when Quintain became the owner. Am putting a copy of that onto fb Save Island House page. The legal ins and outs are a bit torturous, but the original Section 111 agreement was made when the building was still owned by BCC.

It never was. Is only locally listed Grade B. They checked for me and it didn't come up. If you searched British Listed Buildings it wouldn't come up. Shame to see it in scaffolding and now that 'enviro wrap'. It is not Grade II listed by English Heritage. It never was. Is only locally listed Grade B. They checked for me and it didn’t come up.

Shame to see it in scaffolding and now that ‘enviro wrap’.

]]> Comment on Statement from Quintain Estates regarding Island House by adam wilkes http://digbeth.org/2012/01/statement-from-quintain-estates-regarding-island-house/comment-page-1/#comment-22939 adam wilkes Mon, 06 Feb 2012 16:46:26 +0000 http://digbeth.org/?p=8514#comment-22939 Here's the position of Island House in relation to the new HS2. I'm all up for HS2 but Island House is such an iconic building and it's going to be demolished. This is sad because it's such an iconic looking building and the new Hotel La Tour sits so nicely next to it. New buildings with old, compliment each other so well and i think it's a wrong idea to get rid of it completely. If they can make it work with the new HS2 then I'm all for it. http://www.flickr.com/photos/adamwilkes/6830473721/in/photostream Here’s the position of Island House in relation to the new HS2.

Dil and the team had a rare talent for producing great food in a warm and welcoming atmosphere. I am pleased that she will still be serving our office with her sandwich run and outside catering.

They did the best cooked breakfasts I've ever had, anywhere, ever. They had a commitment to quality that was so rare. Let's hope there's chance of a new lease of life, perhaps in a building with a better landlord? Terribly, terribly sad. They did the best cooked breakfasts I’ve ever had, anywhere, ever.

Note the pub's absence from many of the "architect's impressions" of the area, over the last decade or so.
