A Scots couple have won the support of their local council after a neighbour allegedly complained about the Crazy Frog mural on their wall.

John and Caroline Mackay received a letter through the door last month informing them of a case in relation to their property over the mural on their garden wall.

John, 63, and Caroline, 50, say the mural was painted by a friend in March to depict the Crazy Frog - the CGI character that rose to fame in 2003 with its cover version of earworm tune Axel F.Despite its seemingly harmless nature, the couple, residing in Froghoop Cottage, Perth and Kinross, were shocked to learn of a complaint allegedly made to the council by an unknown neighbour.The council's initial report read: "It was brought to the attention of the planning authority that an alleged unauthorised painting had been completed on a boundary wall within the Errol conservation area."Evidence in regard to the alleged development undertaken was received.

It has been determined that development has been undertaken and does constitute development, as defined in Section 26 of the Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Act 1997."Planning permission is not in place for the development.
