What became clear from the deliberations is that all information pertaining to the demolition permit had to be taken into consideration on whether the appropriate course of action was to indeed, demolish the existing semi-detached warder's cottage. SAHRA does agree with the findings contained in the reports that the dilapidated state of the building has progressed so far  therefore recovery of the existing structure is not possible.
