A house is being built so close to a family's home that they can touch it from their bathroom. Niki Caira has slammed the local authority's planning chiefs who approved the construction of the two luxury homes in Fife.
The mum-of-seven says she was horrified when she found out how little space there would be between the new buildings and her own property. She is baffled as to why Fife Council gave permission for KJJ Properties and businessman Alex Penman to build the two £350,000 homes in the face of strong opposition from local residents who raised "serious" concerns.
Niki, 39, and her husband Mario objected to the planning application for the properties for the first time in 2020, but they given the green light by council chiefs in June last year. When construction began in May, Niki said she measured the distance between the two dwellings and said there is only two metres between her home's roof and the new property.
