A man who built a small detached house on his driveway without planning permission has finally torn down his unauthorised property. The homeowner - Mr Singh - was originally given approval to build a single-storey garage in 2019.
But council planning bosses were left stunned in October last year after discovering a small two-storey 'house' had been constructed on the driveway instead. Mr Singh was ordered to demolish the residential dwelling following an appeal, during which he argued there were only 'minor differences' to what was approved.
The family had also previously said they were using the mini property as a gym and were defiant it was staying put. But photographs taken this week now show how the homeowner has significantly reduced the structure to the shape of a previously approved garage.
