The BBC has reported on a large detached house in south-west London that was thought to be worth more than £1m has collapsed.
Kingston Police said basement renovations had been taking place at the property.
Councillor David Cunningham of Kingston Council said a building regulations application had been submitted ‘just two days ago’ and therefore work had been ‘carried out without our guidance and approval. We will be reporting this incident to the Health and Safety Executive for further investigation’.
