'Foolish' couple told to tear down 'odd-looking' extension that infuriated neighbours
A couple have been told they have to tear down a two-storey extension to their home, which includes their daughter's bedroom, after it was built without planning permission. The 'odd-looking' extension was put up by a builder who told the family that permission would not be needed, a council hearing heard this week.
An initial application from the couple seeking retrospective approval was refused in December 2021 on visual and neighbour amenity grounds. The couple lodged a combined appeal against the refusal and an enforcement notice to remove the extension, which was dismissed by a national planning inspector in May this year.
The mum added: "My husband is away for periods of time. We have a young family and one of our children was having problems with anxiety. The first-floor extension was for that child, so she didn't need to share a bedroom, which was contributing to her anxiety."
