From New Zealand-ChristChurch Cathedral could soon face the wrecking ball after an application to appeal its deconstruction was dismissed by the highest court in the land.
The Anglican church wants to demolish the damaged cathedral and replace it with a new design.
The Great Christchurch Buildings Trust (GCBT) legally challenged that plan last year but the Court of Appeal decided that although a church must exist on the site it did not need to be the original.
The trust in turn was asking to appeal that decision but this afternoon the Supreme Court said no.
The Supreme Court challenge was filed by the GCBT, co-chaired by former MPs Jim Anderton and Philip Burdon, which wanted the church to rebuild the cathedral.
