Gizzy Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 Does anyone know what the new building at the top of Dog Kennel Hill on the junction with Grove Hill Road is going to be? Its driving me nuts and every time I walk past it I think it looks more and more like new flats/a whole new house. The only thing that is making me doubt my guess is that they seem to have forgotten to leave space for windows in their brick work! The mystery and guessing continues........Gizzy Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/1900-building-work-at-top-of-dkh/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
citizenED Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 Probably like everyone else who ever gets on a bus up that way I too have been wondering about that development - conclusion: Alan Dale is building a watchtower to keep EDers out of Camberwell Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/1900-building-work-at-top-of-dkh/#findComment-54055 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marmora Man Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 Me too - I've been wondering. It looks like an infill of some kind with maybe a garage underneath and perhaps a small falt above, hence no apparent windows at ground level?

mockney piers Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 I live exceedingly close to this so have a vested interest that it's not going to be a complete eyesore; so wait with baited breath.And yeah, where are the windows? There are absolutely none round the back either!!

Gizzy Posted November 8, 2007 Author Share Posted November 8, 2007 ....im also wondering if there is any sort of profit in doing something like that - building a new house in your front/back gardern and selling it on. They have been at it for a while and i cant imagine its a cheap undertaking. I have a small shed at the bottom of my gardern that i willing to knock down if it make me a shed load of cash!!

Whilst I object to areas of Camberwell being renamed to dissociate them from the problem areas or associate them with East Dulwich I would actually like to see a lot more cross border trade. I think that the new development will be a sharp looking modern house not unlike the one found along Stories Mews on the corner with Stories Road. That is a great house. Have a look...

Frisco Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 "conclusion: Alan Dale is building a watchtower to keep EDers out of Camberwell":-D.From looking at that development from car level, I've assumed that it's either going to be a house, or perhaps two flats.Not for the first time I've noticed the two boarded up semi-detached houses across the road, going down the hill towards Sainsburys (next to the lock up garages), and I wonder what's happening to them. Does anyone know? Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/1900-building-work-at-top-of-dkh/#findComment-54362 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frisco Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 "The only thing that is making me doubt my guess is that they seem to have forgotten to leave space for windows in their brick work!"Oh and I think they be concentrating the windows on the opposite side to the main road, which would be quite sensible in terms of overlooking the garden and cutting out road noise, etc. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/1900-building-work-at-top-of-dkh/#findComment-54368 Share on other sites More sharing options...
