A fire occurred at 26 Stubbs Avenue on 5 March 2025, which is Council owned building. The property was a post-war prefabricated timber-framed bungalow built in the 1950s as part of two semi-detached 3-bedroom dwellings. Having completed all the relevant investigations and surveys, it was determined that the damage caused by the fire compromised the structural integrity which in turn poses a health and safety risk and left the building beyond economic repair, resulting in the need for urgent demolition and then rebuilding of the property to updated modern standards. This proposal seeks to restore the fire-damaged site to current standards and replace the building with a modern equivalent that better suits council priorities.
