An application to demolish the Lord Line building (pictured) and Grade II listed Hydraulic Pump House and Tower in Hull has been rejected.
Councillors voted against plans by the owner this afternoon.
Hull City Council says structural reports did not demonstrate that the buildings are unsafe and therefore demolition isn't needed to make them safe.
The council also noted it received a number of objections from the public and Historic England who believe development would cause harm to heritage assets.
The owner didn't attend the meeting.
