16:5567629The tax laws are the reason for it being "cheaper to build from scratch", VAT being recoverable from new builds but not from refurbishments. Were that to change (and it should in order to better preserve our heritage as well as leveling the playing field in the building industry) then the views alone would make flats there sought after and expensive. Sorry about this Paul but if people will consider the Gateway eyesore as a desirable address then the same would apply to Burlington House.
Politics, it seems to me, for years, or all too long, has been concerned with right or left instead of right or wrong.

18:3767652Sorry Sid even modernised it will still be awful and I do not think we really need another hotel.
I have been talking to a few customers while at work, some do like a chat
. The majority say we could do with more leisure facilities for all ages. The top ones being a decent theatre and cinema or a bowling alley.

19:1367656very much the wish list of most dovorians jan, won't happen though.
the demographics do not fit, only if the ill fated dtiz ever happens or the mass house building at whitfield that had been proposed could any of those things come to fruition.

06:4267705There is a "budget" hotel destined to be built on the DTIZ site, but in case it is a sensitive issue, I won't name the chain.
The first phase, at the corner of Townwall Street and Woolcomber Street (where the Hotel would be built), would have to be completed first for the masts on top of BH to be relocated there, then it can come down.
The developers are coming back to DDC in November to advise us of their progress in signing businesses up to the development.

07:0567708Is there a new master plan then Roger? If so where can it be seen?
Please don't tell me that ddc are going to go ahead with fragments of the development that relied on Asda. Surely this is the time to come up with something decent.

07:1667906That's fine Roger. Could you please tell me who would have such information?
In addition, could you tell me who is making these plans and more importantly how we can get rid of them.
