A Scots couple have been warned they face a whopping £50,000 fine if they fail to demolish their DIY sunroom and garage - despite receiving no complaints from neighbours.
James Bevis and his partner Louise were told they needed planning permission from Midlothian Council for the structure, which they built four years ago.
The 52-year-old dad forked out £3,000 and erected the sunroom himself, as a space for the couple’s teenage daughters to spend time with their pals. But planners from the local authority say the building has been placed too far forward from the front of their home in Mayfield, Dalkeith.
