Council offices in Fisher Street

When I was stuck in traffic earlier this week, I observed 3 men coming out of and locking up the ex council building on Fisher Street. The traffic crawled around the corner past the Spice Merchant and I saw the same three men going into there (not for a curry as it was 9am).
Today, as I was stuck in traffic again, I observed workmen making alterations with a sledgehammer to the inside of this listed building.
Questions,
Are people allowed to forcefully remove door frames and walls on a listed building without planning permission?
Did the people who own/run the Spice Merchant purchase this building?

This is very worrying. It needs to be sent to Lewes DC as a question - the e-mail address is planningATlewes.gov.uk (using an @ instead of AT).

For some time there has been a big yellow sign outside saying the building is suitable for restaurant and office use - could it be that permission has already been granted? Can anybody on here enlighten us..........?

Will that be an SM hotel then? I can foresee Lewes being overrun with bondage fetishists and dominatrices.

I was told (and it was in the Express), that SM planned to open a boutique hotel (in the future) and a cocktail bar. Hope it happens!
