Does any local of this county know when they are finally demolishing the ironbridge power station? What an eyesore! I believe some locals have campaigned to have it preserved .. nowt queer as folk.
I suspect it will be when the owners of the site see some benefit in spending money on clearance.
Probably dependent on a prospective buyer wanting to clean up and redevelop the site. So maybe when the economy picks up and somebody can see a profitable use for it. Large scale plans often take a couple of years before work begins.
"Before the work begins, Shropshire Council has said Uniper must provide a scheme to keep people up-to-date with the project, a noise monitoring scheme, dust and asbestos managing plans, a water management plan to prevent contamination of local waterways and a scheme to secure appropriate drainage of the restored site.

It's still for sale, so perhaps nobody wants it. The agents think it would be suitable for housing.

That is probably or most likely the case, but if they can't or don't sell it within a reasonable time should owners of derelict sites be forced to return the land to its previous state?
I guess Eddie thinks so.
That also applies to railway lines which are just left as a scar on the landscape for ever. Sometimes feeble attempts are made to disguise this by calling it a country walk or cycle route.

hmmm... maybe but I don't think it's as simple as that. I costs maintenance money all the time it remains. viz it sort of has to be demolished... I have no connection with the area BTW.. I have visited and it's very quaint if somewhat isolated and run down.
Fair enough but I deduced from your question that you would not like it left as it is 'for ever' - therefore ...

no, it's hideous!
