JL94x4 Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Anyone know why the two conjoined houses on Prince of Wales road behind Lidl are boarded up? They looked like well respected houses with a nice garden and garages a few years ago before one suddenly became boarded up, followed by the other not long after. Cheers!

megalithic Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 I wouldn't want to live joined to an unoccupied house on there if i'm honest. They're easy targets for the relatively valuable heating system, and no one answers the alarms. Imagine kids playing inside an unoccupied home attached to yours, late at night, much combustible material laying around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookingfat50 Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 I think they will converted into one dwelling for large family or 4or5 bed house might be wrong but why leave them empty for so long Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kidneystone Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 (edited) Is it THESE two houses. If it is then Lidl wanted to demolish them along with their shop and build a new Lidl there. Planning permission was refused last year according to THIS Seems a shame to knock down two perfectly good houses when there is a big shortage of houses.

Yes- but SCC could impose a requirement that the developer build some others somewhere local, in compensation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharonxxxx Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Im sure ive had a leaflet through the door regarding this being passed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savage86 Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 I had a leaflet through the other day. According to the people that work in the Lidl the store is looking to expand in the coming months, though if I recall they were saying this before Christmas last year!

kidneystone Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Yes- but SCC could impose a requirement that the developer build some others somewhere local, in compensation. Its still a loss of two perfectly good houses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
