A HOUSE that burned down in Braintree after a woman set it on fire is to be demolished and rebuilt.
Number 89 Rosemary Avenue has been left unhabitable for seven months.
On 25 August 2012, mum-of-two Ana Rego set fire to her home, which was left in ruins after flames tore through the three- bedroom property.
Greenfields Community Housing, who own the house, have now submitted planning permission to the district council to enable them to knock it down and build an identical version of the semi-detached building.
A spokesperson for Greenfields said: "We will be demolishing 89 Rosemary Avenue during the next month and will be rebuilding the house during mid to late 2013, subject to planning permission."
Rego, 43, was jailed for four years in January after pleading guilty to three counts of reckless arson endangering life.
