A shop owner remains defiant over his paint job on the front of a 19th century building which has been criticised by Sheffield City Council planners.
The front of the cake shop opposite Devonshire Green is part of a row of listed buildings.
Sheffield City Council has written to the owner to say consent was required to repaint the shop front. They describe the paint job as garish and say the union flag theme is unacceptable on a listed building.
But shop owner David Chan has told BBC Radio Sheffield he's not planning to remove it:
Quote MessageIt's the Union Jack. I don't see why it needs to be changed. I'm a supporter of the Queen and this country. I'll write to the Queen. I've not done anything wrong, it's an act of national pride."

The top stories in Sheffield and South Yorkshire this lunchtime include:
A number of Post Offices in Rotherham, Sheffield, Barnsley and Doncaster have been "adopted" by South Yorkshire Police to provide reassurance and prevent crime in key locations.
Image source, JThomas/GeographThe scheme, involving regular visits from PCSOs, was started last year with a pilot in Rotherham but has been rolled out across the force's area.
Temporary Assistant Chief Constable Jason Harwin says:
Quote MessagePost Offices are key locations where members of the local community, particularly the elderly, regularly handle money. This makes them an ideal place in which we can interact with the public. After the success of Adopt-a-Post Office in Rotherham it made sense for us to 'adopt' Post Offices force-wide, in some of our key communities. We found the scheme to be very beneficial for people in Rotherham, and hope that we can replicate these benefits across the county."

Sheffield Council's standing by its assessment that there are only about 11 people sleeping rough on the streets of the city.

A big slab of concrete next to the inner ring road in Sheffield opens to the public today as part of the Art Sheffield 2016 festival.

You seem to be keen on our story yesterday about the 200,000 cups made from stainless steel smelted in Sheffield that will be handed out to revellers at Glastonbury Festival.
This is what you've been telling us:
Image source, Glastonbury FestivalQuote MessageBrilliant idea, will save on the litter and deter people from peeing into the paper/plastic cups and chucking them over the crowd!!! All festivals should give out a re-usable cup and it would be a great keepsake from the event.

Quote MessageHopefully some people will use it again and again or they could get it squashed and framed. It will be quite retro.

A shop front on Devonshire Street in Sheffield is in hot water with planners after painting a design on a 19th century Grade II listed building.
Image source, Sheffield City CouncilSheffield City Council wrote to the owner of the property in February 2015 informing him that because of the building's historic status, consent was required for repainting the shop front. The owner was also told the union flag theme was unacceptable on a listed building.
The owner contacted the local planning authority and explained that, while he had no intention of repainting the shop front in a more acceptable colour, he'd submit an application for Listed Building Consent, even though it's unlikely he'll be successful.
What do you think? Is the paint job garish? Let us know.
