I may be being naive, but surely there's a way to require the refurbishment of listed buildings which are in such a poor state as part of the planning permission for new developments on neighbouring plots. This would be to the benefit of everyone concerned.

A view along Robertson Street in Glasgow, with J.A. Campbell's A-Listed 1901 rather beautiful Glasgow Style Office building lying abandoned and derelict amongst the new developments of the city's International Financial Services District.

The India Building on Bridge Street in Glasgow. This is the worst infestation of buddleia I've seen so far on a listed building.

Built in 1876 for Robert McGregor and Co who made stationery account books and paper bags, it remains an attractive and impressive-looking building despite it's current perilous state. Not surprsingly, this building is considered at risk of being lost.

Sometimes great bits of architecture survive because of what we do to them, and sometimes they survive despite it.
