ProposalDescription: 

Proposed Demolition to R/163/10004/;R/10005; R/1/10003; R/150/10004 & 2/10014, 110 South Coast Road, Rossburgh, Durban, Ethekwini, Drawing no.: 00000 0 - (0) - LA - 1000-001

Expanded_Motivation: 

Application for the demolition of existing dilapidated and abandoned buildings on 110 South Coast RoadThe expanded motivation has been attached to the application in a detailed report. Evidence of the 2022 Flood Damage is widespread and has resulted in extensive damage to the existing buildings. Many of the vehicles destroyed in the floods have remained in place in front of buildings B, C and D. Structural damage to the buildings has been confirmed by the Structural Engineer (Annexure A). After the floods and during the time when the buildings were vacant, many services has been stripped, stolen and vandalized. Damage to the Asbestos roof sheeting is widespread and cannot be repaired to the health risks involved and thus water damage has eroded the buildings further. Over the years, many alterations have been done on the existing buildings. The usage of these buildings has changed to more robust warehousing and storage. Therefore, the historical significance of the building has been lost over time. The cost of restoring the buildings is not feasible, coupled with the Asbestos health risk as well as the Structural Engineers report, we would therefore agree that the buildings are beyond restoration and that demolition of the remaining structures are a more viable option.
