A dad who built a £100k luxury treehouse without planning permission, fearing he would never see it due to a cancer diagnosis, has finally been told he won't have to tear it down.
John Kitson successfully received retrospective planning permission for his 'Cornish treehouse' near Looe, Cornwall, on January 4.
The dad-of-three had built the luxury holiday accommodation as a means of financing an estate he manages - but feared he would never see it completed due to a shock eye cancer diagnosis at just 42.
