A homeowner has been ordered to demolish a tiny house he built on the driveway instead of garage. The striking building was built without planning permission in Vaughton Street, Birmingham.
The building far exceeds the single-storey garage that planners approved in 2019 which had a footprint of 5.3m x 4.6m and a height of 3.6m and bears no resemblance to a garage. The resident was told to demolish the new building, according to BirminghamLive, following an unsuccessful appeal.
In his report, Inspector Thomas Shields wrote: "It is substantially larger than the approved building. It is not a minor difference. In comparison with the approved garage, the appeal building has a footprint of approximately 8.7m x 4.7m and a height of 5.3m.
