Kinks Ray Davies
St
Michaels Terrace in Highgate
|
ROCK hero Ray Davies is seeking Town Hall permission to knock
together two Highgate homes to create a dream property.
The Kinks star wants to alter two buildings in sedate St Michaels
Terrace, a row of houses in South Grove.
His application has been filed by his company, Ray Davies Entertainments,
and is being considered by the Town Halls planning department.
The singer was the brains behind a string of celebrated hit 1960s
singles, including Lola, Waterloo Sunset and You Really Got Me.
Daviess planning application will not be resolved until
the council has been assured that no neighbours have valid concerns
about the alterations.
Design details are openly available on the councils website,
where architects drawings have been posted.
The two homes are near Pond Square and close to the popular Flask
pub.
Unusually, the price paid for the homes is not listed on the land
register but estate agents say each is likely to be around the
£1.5 million mark.
It is not clear whether the homes, which will be joined at ground-floor
level, are for use by Davies himself.
He is recovering from being shot in the leg three months ago during
a street attack in New Orleans.
