Progress on the demolition of the house next door going well now.
Sad really, 110+ years there, in the middle of 2 identical houses. Add 1 greedy developer, and 110+ years of history gone

Gutting to see it just about still there, and "in pain"

These were the gits that undermined the foundations of the house next to you if I remember rightly.

I remember that topic. They were digging out the earth from under the house.
What ever happened ??

Snazy

The house started to fall down and is now being torn down.
Good bye to 110+ years of a lovely structure.

Steve, the very same mate, I posted on the original thread the other day, its out there

Nate, well its progress of sorts lol.

Means the right side of my house gets fresh daylight ALL summer. For the first time in 110 years lol.

The next step, planning, well thats where its gonna get messy

The red bricked rear picture?
Thats the unauthorised new rear extension they had built. Had to tear it all down too.

Was in a bad way after the partial collapse. As in the older pics on the gallery. HERE. CSOC Gallery - House Collapse

For those that missed them....

Similar thing happened to us. Lovely old barn, pulled down before planning permission granted for a rebuild. It was over 100 years old. We now have a monstrosity behind us, using the same stone, but with absolutely no character. Criminal

Snazy

Not good at all mate.

My local authority have a track record of refusing changes, and insisting on keeping character.
Also the local community are really pissed about it all, and vow to challenge any PP put in for anything but victorian style.

Fingers crossed eh

Typical builder Snazy, he did it and it was too late for the Council to do anything about it. He is a waste of space. There was bats living in that barn too.
My house is about 150 years old, his looks ridiculous and totally out of character with the area. He got away with it, lined pockets in the Council, methinks

Snazy

That kinda thing makes me sick mate !
Dulwich have some modern houses being built behind old exclusives, which is a shame.
The worst part is I LOVE the designer of the new ones so am torn which are nicest. They clash a bit, but its 2 plots so easier on the eye.

There are 3 of my style houses, the middle one is going, so that leaves one either side. It would be criminal to allow something modern in the middle.

Snazy

Well, the disappearing house is finally all gone, and for those interested you can see into the basement area to see exactly "what went wrong" Even the untrained eye can see it was never going to stay up.
You can also see the extensive work done by MR Scaffolders to secure the foundations the best they could. At least someone did something right.

Will post some pics tomorrow. But for now, im glad its over.
