The building, with the blue safety netting covering its frontage, is numbers 47 and 48, Hawley Square, the home of the Make A Wish Foundation. It is grade II listed, dates from the 18th century and was originally two houses converted to one http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-356570-47-and-48-hawley-square-kent A couple of building applications have been applied for through Thanet District Council: F/TH/13/0232 and L/TH/13/0234. The details are the same for both applications, “erection of a four storey rear extension with alteration to roof to create a triple-pitch roof together with alterations to rear wall”. The building to its right is numbers 49 and 50 Hawley Square and was gutted by fire on 6 May 2008. It dates from the late 18th century and is grade II listed http://margatearchitecture.blogspot.co.uk/2008/05/another-listed-building-in-margate-goes.html I assume the scaffolding has been erected to prevent the building collapsing. This is how the buildings appeared almost a year ago Image
