Case Type: 

ProposalDescription: 

Demolition of current structure and replacement structure. The design proposal for the replacement building on erf 1852 is not a replica of the original. Rather, the site is to accommodate residential units for the owners’ extended family. One of the owners resides next door at 6 Lion Street.

Expanded_Motivation: 

The current structure was purchased by the adjacent neighbour. The site, which includes the ruin of a late-Victorian villa, has been derelict since the 2000s. While the building is older than 100 years and was originally a good example of its typology, the damage caused by a fire in c2007 has significantly reduced its intrinsic, architectural, aesthetic and representative significances. The surviving fabric is not considered conservation-worthy and possesses no associational significance.The structural engineers report found that impact of the fire weakened the stability, integrity, insulation and compressive strength of walls. Remaining walls are in a state of collapse and have been deemed unsafe and not conducive for incorporating in future development.
