4 September (Part 2) - More profit than BexleyCo
Five years ago, in the good old days
when I had
access to a car, I drove over to the back streets of Erith to take a look at
two Council owned houses (176/8 Slade Green Road) which had been left to rot for three years and then mysteriously caught fire.
Vandals probably.
It was speculated that the Council had
also acquired the next door Community Centre and its car park and had in mind developing the
site. Well it seems there was some truth in that story and they have granted themselves planning permission. (25/00147/FULM)
The permission is for 44 flats and the Council owned site is offered for £2,750 plus. The conditions
on Rightmove’s website are worth a read. (See below.)
From a couple of run down houses to nearly £3 million. Oh, that BexleyCo could be that successful.
