    'Planning policy states ‘a faithful historic reconstruction of Kay’s built scheme could be an acceptable solution. A pastiche approach will not be supported”.'

    Quite right too. Reasonable modern solutions are preferable to cheap fakery. Presumably it is prohibitively expensive to recreate the destroyed stone facades.
