ProposalDescription: 

Heritage report with regard to demo application submitted to HWC SAHRA comment required Cape Town , Western Cape EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: (from report attached to the case) This report finds that the original modest c.1930 villa at 273 Longmarket Street has been substantially altered and compromised. The surrounding context comprises more modern buildings not in keeping with the 1930s architecture. Given the changed context and much altered structure, a Grade IIIC cannot be supported for this building, and the house is deemed to be have insufficient heritage significance to warrant formal protection. Notwithstanding this, the scale, form, street interface etc are positive design elements and should be reinforced in the new design where possible. The remnant stairs to the old stoep should being incorporated in the new design.This report recommends that Heritage Western Cape approve the demolition of the dwelling at 273 Longmarket Street.
