Plans have been approved for the demolition of a Carlisle city centre building.
Paton House, on Victoria Viaduct, will be demolished after proposals were approved by Carlisle City Councilâs development control committee on Friday.
The demolition was concluded to be necessary by Carlisle City Council owing to the fact the interwar Art Deco building is âgradually falling into a state of disrepairâ.
Its demolition will contribute toward the wider plans the city council has for the transformation of the area, including a redevelopment of the historic Citadels buildings close by.
Commenting on the proposals, Cathedral and Castle councillor Anne Glendinning agreed that the building is âgetting into a state of disrepair.â
