Now I say nine lives but for all I know there maybe more.
Today I tracked various planning applications for the property back to 1974 and there may have been more.
They all required the demolition of the old house and the building of between three and ten properties, some of which were to be flats and the latest a complex of town three story houses.
What they all have in common is that 28 Edge Lane is still there.
The earliest one was turned down because access to the site and car parking were unsatisfactory, while the proposed new build was out of character with the adjacent property and would therefore be detrimental to the visual amenities of the area.
Added to which there were other concerns.
A later proposal was permitted but nothing happened and now there is another in.
I hadn’t planned another story on 28 Edge Lane, but Andy sent over his pictures with an intriguing uncompleted extension at the rear which I guess would come down if the latest application were granted.
