The private owner of Birnbeck Pier has put in an application to the magistrates court to put a stay on the compulsory purchase order (CPO) brought by North Somerset Council.
The council has argued in a virtual preliminary hearing, held today (Monday) at North Somerset Courthouse, in St Georges, that a stay on proceedings lodged by CNM Estates last year following the council issuing a CPO on Birnbeck Pier is no longer justified due to the fact that the current owner has not undertaken any repairs on the pier either before or since the CPO was served, and as CNM Estates no longer has a legal interest in the site, following a transfer of ownership to Birnbeck Holdings Ltd, the case should be dismissed.

North Somerset Council and Historic England have stated their unwavering commitment to continue with the compulsory purchase order (CPO) of Birnbeck Pier as a new owner was announced for the Victorian structure.
On January 22, the owners of the pier purchased the landmark from themselves - under a different company name.
CNM Estates purchased Birnbeck island under a new entity, Birnbeck Holdings Limited. Wahid Samady is the chairman of both companies.
The council has been working for some time to secure a future for the pier and announced in June that the RNLI was looking to invest into the historic pier and move its life-saving operations back to the island, significantly improving its access to the water.

The Birnbeck Regeneration Trust said it was disappointed to hear of the pier s sale.
Its spokesman said: “The trust is disappointed, but not surprised, to hear that CNM Estates have sold the pier to another company under the direction of Wahid Samady.
“There has obviously been a financial settlement between Mr Samady and Mr Sullivan in order for the sale to be able to go through to this new company which was only established just before Christmas.
“We do not have confidence that the pier will somehow rapidly be repaired and rebuilt as a result because it hasn’t happened so far after years of neglect by Mr Samady.
