flag A woman in Worcester faces losing a £170,000 extension built for her disabled daughter after officials denied retroactive planning permission.

flag A Worcester, England, woman faces possible demolition of a £170,000 backyard extension built for her disabled daughter after authorities denied retrospective planning permission. flag Originally approved to replace a garage with a modest annexe, the structure evolved into a two-storey, standalone building that neighbors claim overshadows homes, blocks sunlight, and disrupts the area’s character. flag The council ruled it fails to meet annexe criteria, lacks functional dependency on the main house, and creates an unacceptable impact on nearby residents. flag The homeowner, Clair Birch, says she relied on a planner who submitted incorrect paperwork and believed she had approval since June. flag She maintains the build was necessary for her daughter’s well-being and denies the structure is a separate dwelling. flag The case highlights tensions between personal needs and planning regulations.
