There does seem to be some flexibility on this issue with the
architects prepared to enter into a dialogue with objectors and residents of
the existing building, so first this letter.
My own take on this being that once redevelopment of the
bits of the Pugin and Pugin like original that was all built in Victorian
gothic style have been recently rebuilt also in Victorian gothic style, then
the remaining part that was demolished should now be rebuilt in Victorian gothic
style.
Here are a few pictures of the recent rebuilding of the
front part of the Granville.
As you can see it is possible to build a modern
building in this style using a mixture of traditional and modern construction techniques,
the pictures should expand when clicked on compulsively.

response to comment. The new bit is the part on the left with the extra floor.
My mother was one of the first occupants of the recently built Granville flats. I used talk with the developer; he told me that he had no problem with English Heritage. The new proposed development should copy the Victorian Githic style.
ReplyDeleteThe next time you are down that way with your camera, could you please get a 'front on' shot from the seafront so that we can get an idea of what it did look like / does look like?
ReplyDeleteSorry to be dense but it is not an area that I am familiar with thus finding it hard to get a perspective on all your pictures [which road is which etc.]
Chuck I have added a front view of how it looks now to the bottom of the post, bit bent as the furthest away you can get is the edge of the cliff.

ReplyDeleteThat site Nude in Thanet seems to me is inappropriate for this site
ReplyDeleteIt is disgusting, very amateurish, and obscene, I think it should be regulated to some obscure porn site! looks like it was done by some one with a throw a way camera!
DeleteI agree who needs that garbage, lets all vote to eliminate it.
DeleteSo please vote to get this naked In thanet or whatever it's called off this site.
Peter,
DeleteI hear that this anonymouse troll is organising a naked demo.
Peter, the 'let's all vote' indicates that you have attracted the attention of the Manston Aquifer Nutter. He always imagines himself to be part of a gang.
The site is not what we want here, keep your naked bimbos some where else
