Latest: It appear that the back retaining wall is in serious danger of falling over. It has been checked by Council and Pitt and Sherry and my information is that it is now unsafe to work on site. Unbelievably, no-one seems to know (including Council) whose responsibility it is to secure the retaining wall. I have forwarded "before the dig" and "after the dig" photo's to owners of the property.
This proves the case that it is prudent is to take as many photo's as possible before, during and after a development to record changes/breaches of building codes. The cause of structural problems may be brought to light by viewing before and after photo's. I believe it is critical to document a development for this reason, particularly if the development has a prior of problems.
I have just been told that if you want photo's from Council concerning this development, you need to apply under the Freedom Of Information Act! Lesson: Take photo's and lot's of them.
Before development:
After digging panoramic photo:
I have supplied photo's to the people involved in this issue and have offered to send higher quality ones if necessary.
