Property developer announces plans to demolish former home of disgraced TV personality, Jimmy Savile.
It is not unusual for the former homes of murderers, rapists and child sex offenders to be demolished in the wake of their conviction. What is slightly more unusual, however, is a plan to demolish a fifth-storey penthouse for precisely the same reasons but without impacting upon those living below.
Those ambitious plans have been mooted by Leeds-based CXI 92 Ltd, new owner of the former home of disgraced TV star and serial sex attacker Jimmy Savile.
A spokesman for CXI 92 said: “I can tell you that we are going to demolish the property and completely rebuild it before selling it or possibly using it as a rental property.
“We are going to demolish it in the next six months to two years.”
The spokesman said the work would not affect any of the other apartments in the Lakeview Court block.
