Is there scope for you to call in any proposed scheme that involved the demolition of a listed building? Would this be sound reasoning for calling in a scheme?

The Mayor of London Order (2008) sets out the criteria for applications to be referred to me along with the powers for me to call in planning applications. A scheme proposing the demolition of a listed building would in itself not be a ground for that scheme to be referred to me for my consideration or allow me to call it in. A listed building cannot be demolished, extended or altered without listed building consent from the local planning authority.
