Dear Tage As a member of Venstre's group on the city council, your vote for or against a possible section 14 prohibition on demolishing Skansegården could perhaps be decisive. I therefore want to ensure that you are completely clear about what you must decide. Skansegården is not a listed building.
The main building is worthy of preservation in class 3 on the SAVE scale. That merely means Fredningsnævnet must be consulted before any demolition permit. That has naturally already been done.
Fredningsstyrelsen, the museum sector, building consultants and Sønderborg Kommune's administration have all approved demolition of the dilapidated building and even stated that Skansegården will not take significant historical values to the grave with it. There are absolutely no objective arguments supporting a prohibition. Nor are there any previous cases in which Venstre has shown such marked opposition to demolishing a building worthy of preservation.
Incidentally, Skansegården's neighbours have not experienced similar difficulties obtaining permits for demolition and new construction. You must therefore decide whether to support your group leader's apparently entirely personal campaign of harassment against the undersigned. Do you believe this case would have come to anything at all if someone else had won the auction bid?
Do you know who is behind the anonymous bids? Do you want to take a decision that you know lacks any form of logic or professional justification and could, in the long run, become very expensive for the municipality? I hope you make the decision that you yourself will be happy with – in the long term too.
Kind regards, the owner

Text version dated 23 May 2020
Kære Tage Som medlem af Venstres gruppe i byrådet, kan din stemme for eller imod et eventuel paragraf 14 forbud mod nedrivning af Skansegården måske blive afgørende. Derfor vil jeg gerne sikre mig, at du er helt afklaret om, hvad det er, du skal tage stilling til. Skansegården er ikke fredet.
Hovedbygningen er bevaringsværdig i klasse 3 efter SAVE-skalaen. Det betyder blot, at man skal spørge Fredningsnævnet til råds før en eventuel nedrivningstilladelse. Det er naturligvis allerede blevet gjort.
Fredningsstyrelsen, museumsverdenen, bygningskonsulenter samt Sønderborg Kommunes Forvaltning har alle sagt god for en nedrivning af den faldefærdige bygning og endog ytret, at Skansegården ikke tager væsentlige historiske værdier med sig i graven. Der er absolut ingen saglige argumenter, der støtter et forbud. Der er heller ingen tidligere sager, hvor Venstre har udvist en så markant uvilje mod nedrivning af en bevaringsværdig bygning.
I øvrigt har Skansegårdens naboer ikke oplevet lignende vanskeligheder med tilladelser til nedrivninger og nybyggerier. Du skal derfor vurdere, om du vil støtte op om din gruppeformands tilsyneladende helt personlige hetz mod undertegnede. Tror du, at denne sag overhovedet var blevet til noget, hvis det havde været en anden, der havde vundet auktionsbuddet?
Ved du, hvem der gemmer sig bag de anonyme bud? Har du lyst til at tage en beslutning, som du godt ved, mangler enhver form for logik og faglig begrundelse - og som på den lange bane kan blive rigtig dyr for kommunen? Jeg håber, at du træffer den beslutning, som du selv bliver glad for - også i længden.
Med venlig hilsen ejeren
