A couple who built on their neighbours' garden have been ordered to demolish their £80,000 extension, and were handed £200,000 in lawyers' bills.
Shabaz Ashraf, 45, and his wife Shakira, 40, were told by a judge to tear apart the extension to their £700,000 London home, because it was built more than two inches too close to their neighbours' house.
The couple estimated they spent £80,000 ripping down a 1970s extension at the back of their house in Ridgeway Gardens, Redbridge, and replacing it with a modern one.
