The Singh family claimed they had been using the mini property as a gym and were defiant it was staying put
A homeowner who built a house on his driveway without permission has finally torn it down after a planning row.
Recent photographs now show how Mr Singh has significantly reduced the structure to the shape of a previously approved garage. A woman who answered the door of the house refused to comment when approached but neighbours said the building work had been ongoing for weeks. "It's hard to have too much sympathy with them though as they were clearly in the wrong. They've been working on it for a few weeks now and it certainly looks more like a garage."
Mr Singh was given until July to raze the new property to the ground for being in breach of the original planning permission. "The approved plans for the garage show a single storey detached garage with a footprint of 5.3m x 4.6m and a height of 3.6m. It was also shown having a standard garage door to the front and no windows on any elevation.
"Two more windows in the rear elevation serve a separate, smaller room. All of these differences, between what was approved, and what has been built, are not minor.
