    Here's the spot where they want to build.

    It looks like maybe it was originally built as a terrace, then somebody knocked down one house to get to the back ...

    I don't think this was the case. I think the houses were built with the separate pair of semis to fit the land owned by the original builder and to give access to property behind (stables are mentioned).


    If you look at the semis, then the rest of the terrace, you can see that front doors (usual with older terraces) are paired. ie 2 and 4 have doors together, then 6 with 8 etc .


    This does not match the pattern there would be, if a house was removed, and there is no sign on the sides of no 4 that there has ever been anything attached, then demolished. Also, the decorative brickwork, just below the roof, continues round the side, which would not be the case after demolition.
  • What a strange thing to stumble upon on the internet! Thanks guys!

    Googling your own name eh? ;)

    Who cares, you're still awesome! Good luck with the objections.
  • Ha! I was actually googling the application number! Cheers. I am an architect btw, hence the half decent objection wording

    Jonny Aldridge really is lucky to have a neighbour like you and certainly owes you a pint or two even if the objections don't work.
  • Hi all,

    Thanks a lot for your help and comments on this... The application has been withdrawn by the developers (for now).
    Now if everyone would stop making me buy drinks for the new neighbours that'd be great! :beer:

    Cheers!
    Jonny
