Just wondered if anyone knows what kind of work is going on at 41 Umfreville. There are two huge skips full of clay out front, which suggests someone is digging a basement.
Tags (All lower case. Use " " for multiple word tags):
Don't you need planning permission to dig down? I would have thought there were implications on this subsidence-prone clay soil.
Check with the Council's Planning department. If they're excavating the basement they will also need the Council's Building Control department's approval, so contact them as well.
when I walked past I assumed it was a garden being landscaped.
Yes, that would be my guess too.....I saw lots of greenery coming out of there before.
Well I just hope that whoever lives there doesn't happen to come across HOL for the first time this weekend and then find their very own address as a subject heading on the forum. I think I'd find that rather disconcerting.
And if I understand his posts correctly, I agree with Hugh: expanding homes downwards is a great, if expensive, use of city space.
I understand your concern, Graeme. But this particular property has been the subject of a previous prosecution for breach of planning law.(This information is in the public domain). There is a huge problem in this area with conversion of single family dwellings into HMOs, and I do think we need to keep an eye on things that are going on.
I concur Graeme.
It is not polite to publicly discuss the ongoings of a person or building's nether regions.
Not to be encouraged. See what it's doing to Kensington + Chelsea.
