Gavin Simpson, 53, a long-time resident of Southend Road in Beckenham, claimed to be at his wit's end over the continuous renovations on the Victorian house adjacent to his. Mr Simpson, who has resided in the neighbourhood with his family for over two decades, has complained that the recent developments have spoiled the tranquillity of their street. The man behind the contentious construction is Conservative Councillor Adam Jude Grant. Representing the Shortlands and Park Langley ward for Bromley Council, Councillor Grant is identified on the council's planning portal as the applicant spearheading the modifications to the house, MyLondon reports. According to Mr Simpson, ever since the property was sold to Councillor Grant five years ago, there have been relentless attempts to transform the house into a multi-unit dwelling. Initial plans proposed converting the house into a complex of 11 and nine flats, before finally settling on a seven-flat design which received approval. Mr Simpson said: "Adam was intent on developing it so that was when he put the plans through and it kind of all went a bit south from there." Mr Simpson has described the work on his house as "frustrating", recounting incidents such as a lorry reversing into and knocking down a stone pillar at the end of his driveway, and a digger crashing into his fence, leaving a gaping hole. He confirmed that both issues have been rectified since. The renovation works began with the demolition of the building's existing extension. Mr Simpson said: "They just knocked it down, so at one point we had probably a five metre wall that was free standing on its own, because they gutted out the whole extension. So it was just this wall h){kind=link}
