A couple who built a two storey extension at the rear of their house in north London without planning permission have been fined £14,000 and ordered to knock it down following a prosecution brought by Barnet Council.
The Clarks ended up in court after failing to demolish the two-storey rear extension including a mansard roof which was the subject of an enforcement notice when the development was built without planning permission.
Officials called the extension an ‘incongruous and overbearing addition in stark contrast to the original house’ The extension was subdivided into flats and rented out by the couple.
