Scots couple threatened with £50,000 fine by council unless they demolish sunroom

dailyrecord.co.uk:

A family are facing a £50,000 fine if they do not demolish a garage and sunroom, which they built four years ago on a budget of just £3,000 in their garden.

Despite no objections and vocal support from neighbours, James Bevis and his partner Louise, have been informed they need planning permission for the DIY extension.

Officials says it is required because part of the new extension was forward from the front of their home in Mayfield, Dalkeith.

The council refused to grant permission and instead ordered them to remove the building and all its materials from their garden, report Edinburgh Live.
