Refurbishment is set to start on a Grade II-listed abandoned courthouse which was almost completely destroyed in an arson attack five years ago.

West Ham Magistrates’ Court fire damaged roof and walls will be replaced after Newham council’s local development committee approved the works at a meeting on Monday.

The building has been vacant since 1984 and it has “deteriorated significantly” since then. It was placed on Historic England’s “At Risk Register ” in 1998.

An arson attack in 2014 “led to the loss of much historic fabric internally”, according to planning officers.

Newham council, which owns the site, now wants to restore the building to be used as a “community asset”.

Plans for a temporary roof, walls and scaffolding have been approved and backed by Historic England.

“This proposal is the first phase of a wider project which aspires to restore this dilapidated heritage and community asset,” planning officers said.

“The dismantling of the fire damaged parts of the building and the erection of free standing scaffolding will allow for safe access into the building which in turn will allow for future investigative works, including the recording, demolition, removal, and potential salvaging of historic fabric and other cultural material within the building.”
