A homeowner who built a house on his driveway without permission has finally torn it down after a planning row.
Mr M Singh, erected the detached house after he was originally given approval to build a single-storey garage in Highgate, Birmingham, in 2019. Planning chiefs were shocked in October last year to discover he had actually developed a small two-storey 'house' on the driveway instead.
Mr Singh argued there were only 'minor differences' to what was initially approved, but was ordered to demolish it following an appeal, reports the Mirror. The Singh family claimed they had been using the mini property as a gym and were defiant it was staying put.
