An enforcement order requires the building to be built back to what it was prior to the fire.

Build it back

Yeah, I posted that a few hours ago in the 'Crooked pub’ thread. Keep up.
I wonder what standards they will use to build it back bearing in mind generally things are built level and vertical and suchlike.
Or will they just get someone of Checkatrade who can build wonky by default?

Enforcement of rebuilds or removing un-authorised extensions needs to be speeded up.

They will presumably be required to build it back crooked, otherwise it wouldn't be the Crooked House. There'd be no point in a "Used to be Crooked House" pub that wasn't even old.
It's owned by a limited company with a limited share capital, so unless there other assets of value, I doubt there will be a re build. Council is unlikely to have the assets to carry out works in default. A CPO is a possibility but as it is a listed building the owners can require the Council to buy it back iirc. So nothing, zilch, diddly squat will happen.
Perhaps they own the building land.

The directors are also charged personally.
