Homeowners Complain About Unauthorized Structure
Residents in a Kent beauty spot are up in arms over a neighbour's "alien" cabin that was erected without permission. The cabin, which was being used to promote a nearby housing development, has been dubbed a "shopping mall" by disgruntled locals.
Housebuilding Giant Ordered to Tear Down Cabin
Redrow, the housebuilding giant responsible for the cabin, has been instructed by Dover District Council to remove the structure. The decision came after 40 objections were sent to planning bosses regarding the cabin's lack of planning permission.
Cabin Described as "Unjustified" and "Alien"
Planning officers described the cabin as an "unjustified, unrelated, jarring, alien, discordant feature" that was spoiling the natural beauty of the park. They also highlighted safety hazards posed to visitors. The cabin's removal has been celebrated by unhappy residents.
Locals Express Concern for Wildlife and Character of the Area
Residents voiced their concerns about the impact of the cabin on the local environment. One resident asked why the park couldn't remain a haven for wildlife, while another described the structure as "totally out of character." Sholden Parish Council also criticized the cabin for blighting the landscape.
Redrow Begins Process of Removing Cabin
Redrow has stated that it is now decommissioning and removing the cabin following the rejection of their planning application. The district council has confirmed that their planning enforcement teams are considering further action.
