I think my White Whale in this respect is Woolton Hall in Liverpool. It's actually Grade I listed, but it's been derelict for decades and has had several fires. No one has a clue what to do with it, so we just let it rot, apparently.

Woolton Hall was gutted by fire last August. It's beyond rotting, it's utterly destroyed inside now. The owner was trying to turn it into a care home, but since two of his other care homes were shut down by the Care Quality Commissioner Liverpool Council were not keen. bsky.app/profile/drja...

Watching this nice drone video put up yesterday of the sad post-fire state of 18thc Woolton Hall near Liverpool and yes, no surprise to see every floor burnt out down to the cellars: but this gable end doesn't look far off collapsing. www.youtube.com/watch?v=dgbk...

Facebook comments are a golden seam of suggestions for "why don't (unspecified) they turn (derelict building x) into (thing for which it is completely unsuitable).
