A mum has been ordered to tear down a £170,000 garden extension after furious neighbours complained to the council about the 'eyesore'.

Clair Birch, 58, says she had initially requested permission for a single-bedroom annexe to replace an existing garage at her semi-detached home. However, neighbours were left gobsmacked when a standalone property resembling an 'extended bungalow' was erected in the back garden instead.

Worcester City Council has now rejected retrospective planning permission, declaring the 'overbearing' construction resembles a self-contained dwelling rather than an annexe, meaning Clair now faces demolishing the property.

The mum claims she constructed the development for her disabled daughter and has slammed 'snotty neighbours' for 'making life hell'.
