An 'alien' garden room overlooking a golf course could be torn down after complaints it is blocking views. A council refused to grant permission for the structure, which has already been built, despite the owner arguing it is the same size as the room it replaced.
Planners have received five objections with neighbours complaining it blocked light, was in open view of a nearby golf course and looked 'alien' against the other cottages, reports Edinburgh Live. Now applicant Kenneth Walker has lodged an appeal with East Lothian Council's Local Review Body, hitting back at claims and dismissing fears the room would be used as a holiday let
In the appeal, Mr Walker says the new garden room is 'only marginally bigger' than the one previously, adding: "From the second fairway on the golf course the only building that obscures the view of the cottages is one built by our neighbour."
