Woolwich flats facing demolition order are still on lettings agents' books

A number of estate agents had live adverts on Monday afternoon for homes within the Woolwich complex, where hundreds of homes were targeted by Greenwich this month.

The council issued an enforcement notice to developer Comer Homes demanding demolition of the 204-home Mast Quay phase two. This followed an investigation that uncovered “at least 26” deviations from the 2012 planning permission.

Comer has a year to comply, and the start of this period can be delayed until any appeal is heard. The Mast Quay development saw two towers delivered in a first wave in 2007. These are not subject to the order.

Phase two was completed several years later and this is where the enforcement notice applies. There are plans for a third phase, with building work yet to start on the site.
