Hayes homeowners ordered to pay £6,000 and demolish huge extension after building it without permission
Hayes homeowners have been ordered to pay more than £6,000 costs and to pull down a 40-square-metre rear extension they had built without planning permission. At a hearing at the Royal Courts of Justice last week the owners of the house on Cranmer Road, failed in a bid to appeal a planning notice served to them by Hillingdon Council in March 2022, requiring the large extension be removed. The court heard the owners didn't acknowledge the notice until May that year, at which point the time period to act on the notice had expired and the period the owners had been given to appeal the notice had expired at the end of April. The owners opted to challenge the council's actions via judicial review, however as the council had followed all the required protocols and the owners had failed to act, the courts found in the council's favour. #hayes #demolish #noplanningpermission Read the full article
