Go-ahead is given to rebuild house destroyed in Clacton gas explosion
PLANS to rebuild a house destroyed by a gas explosion in Clacton have been approved.
The 1960s council house in Cloes Lane was destroyed following a huge blast in February 2014.
An investigation into the blast found there had been a fault with a valve on a gas cylinder at 201 Cloes Lane. Ten people were left injured and a total of 24 homes were affected.
The other half of the semi-detached building also had to be pulled down.
Plans to rebuild the Tendring Council-owned house were approved by the authority’s planning committee on Tuesday.
