A homeowner has been told she must extend her driveway by 60cm or face enforcement action. The homeowner was being investigated after their neighbour challenged the council over her own parking space.
Michelle Watson had applied to remove a condition on her planning permission for her new driveway, which called for it to be extended by 60cm. She even provided photographs showing her car fitting into the drive which she argued was the same as others in the area.
However the image also showed a neighbour's car overhanging the pavement and it was revealed officers who visited Ms Watson's home as part of the initial decision had asked enforcement officers to look at the neighbouring drive as well. Ms Watson, of Midlothian, has been ordered to extend her driveway after councillors described it as a 'tight fit' even for a compact car, EdinburghLive reports.
