Residents rejoice as demolition gets the green light.
The demolition of the hated Dover eyesore Burlington House is expected begin in spring next year.
At a Dover Town Investment Zone (DTIZ) meeting at the district council offices on Tuesday, regeneration supremo Tim Ingleton updated councillors and the public.
He hoped the long-awaited approval of a compulsory purchase order (CPO) would be before Christmas.
Asked how soon Burlington House would be demolished, he said: “We are looking at the spring for that position to be reached or sooner if we get the arrival of the CPO.
“We hope that we get the CPO before Christmas. That would be a great Christmas present.”
“The demolition is looking at about four to four and a half months of activity.”
