Fire crews have been called to Manor House, in Owton Manor Lane, four times since the start of June after a series of fires broke out at the site – with blazes sometimes happening twice in the same week.
Meanwhile, one incident at the end of June saw firefighters spend four hours tacking the flames.

The fire service has said a large amount of rubbish near the building was on fire and crews spent around 20 minutes at the scene.
One engine attended and no damage was reported.
Cleveland Fire Brigade had previously asked members of the public with information to come forward after a “deliberate” fire at the farmhouse on Sunday, July 3.
The ground floor of the building was damaged in the incident, which was the second fire at Manor House that week.
