A couple who built an extension two and a half inches into their neighbour's land have been told to demolish the £80k addition to their home.
Shabaz Ashraf, 45, and his wife Shakira, 40, were also handed a £200,000 legal bill for their troubles after their neighbours took them to court over the 68mm-long incursion into their garden. Neighbours Avtar Dhinjan and his wife Balvinder complained that the extension to the Ashraf's £700,000 home was "encroaching" into their space.
The Mirror reports that the roof overhang into the Dhinjan's garden was around 98mm, or 3.86 inches. The Dhinjans claimed the Ashrafs "intended to annoy" them with the invasion of their garden and had even told them to 'go to court'; the new extension was built to replace an ageing one constructed in the 1970s.
