Property owner takes legal steps to halt demolition of former ICI HQ.
A last ditch legal bid has been launched to block the demolition of derelict Billingham House.
A judicial review last month gave Stockton Council the go-ahead to raze the former ICI headquarters on Belasis Avenue.
The legal ruling brought an end to a long-running saga over the future of the building, which fell into disrepair after being left empty for more than six years.

It is also seeking an injunction to halt work at the site.
