Some good news for Dover Town Hall - "has been upgraded from a Grade II* to a Grade I listing by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS). "

Yes and no = it probably helps with the lottery bid but the restrictions on how you can change G1 buildings is even more onerous and may will require a change of tack from DDC

Nope. See The Grange Ramsgate for Grade 1 let by Landmark Trust:-

I suspect it might change what they are now allowed to do which I think is what Ross was referring to.

I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.

I believe that the application for Grade 1 status was factored in to the proposals from day 1.
