Mum fumes as council takes no further action over house built 'closer than it should have been'

A mum who can tap her neighbour's door from her bathroom has been told by the council the property is 'closer than it should have been'. But Niki Caira was left furious when the local authority confirmed it would be taking no further action.

As reported by the Daily Record, Fife Council originally said the building had been built to comply with the approved planning permissions. But the local authority recently confirmed to Niki that they have since discovered it has been built 4cm closer to the boundary than originally thought.

Aethetics practioner Niki immediately complained to the council after learning new-build luxury homes were going to be built next to her house in Thornton, Fife. Along with husband Mario, she objected to the planning application for the two £350,000 properties in 2020.
