If you’ve driven up or down Yarnells Hill lately, you may notice that the demoltion work at this address stopped before it barely began. The house has part of the roof and some windows gone. Then the workers just left. Like, 2 months ago, or so? Abandoned.

I asked Vale Planning Enforcement about it. They said the developers there hadn’t yet satisfied some of the conditions that were to be met prior to beginning devlopment. So Enforcement are happy that work has stopped, otherwise the developers would be in breach of planning permission.

I do wish the developers had thought of this before they started. It’s not nice to have a half-demolished building sitting there.

On a positive note, I noticed a SOLD sign on the property across the street from the site. I’m glad they successfully sold. For the benefit of future neighbours; the construction work won’t be going on forever.
