Demolition Order Substituted for Closing Order
A Closing Order was made on the whole of 2 Ennis Road in
January, 1959. By July, 1962 the premises had become so derelict
that it was necessary to substitute a Demolition Order for the Closing
Order. The Demolition Order became operative on 6th August, 1962,
requiring the house to be demolished before 24th September. The
owner subsequently proposed to reconstruct the house, and on 12th
September a three months' extension of the time allowed for demolition
was granted to permit this. In January, 1963, in view of the fact
that a major part of the proposed reconstruction work had been executed
satisfactorily, the enforcement of the demolition order was extended for
a further three months.
