A couple who bought an "absolutely beautiful" new build just metres away from a busy dual carriageway have won their battle with their local council. Jackie McCormack, and her husband James, bought their £325k detached house in February last year but within a day of moving into the home, say they were disrupted by the constant noise and pollution from the 70mph road.
The couple, who were cruelly trolled over their struggles in the new build, have seen their complaint against the council upheld, BirminghamLive reports . North Warwickshire Borough Council admitted a major planning blunder on the home built just six metres from the A446.
Jackie, 60, had previously questioned how the planners had got permission to build the development "so close to the road" and told of the serious impact the busy carriageway was having on their mental health after purchasing their James Munday Rise home, Coleshill.
