A mother who spent £170,000 building an annexe for her disabled daughter has been ordered to demolish the structure after council officers deemed it ‘unacceptable’.
Clair Birch, 59, spent thousands on the two-storey building in the back garden of her semi-detached home in Worcester to help her daughter live more independently.
But furious neighbours claim the structure appeared just metres away from their homes without planning permission.
After losing an appeal, Clair now faces having to demolish the building within six months or make changes to comply with Worcester City Council’s demands.
