Man at war with council after he is ordered to demolish extension because of ‘nonsense’ complaint from neighbours

An angry host is fighting the local council after being ordered to extend and demolish the chimneys burning wood.

Gerrard Caughey, planning chefs, said that he had built the solar room at the Glasgow house without permission, and then branded the ‘nonsense’ decision.

Mr. Caughey was slapped with two enforcement notifications. The Glasgow City Council (GCC) took its struggle to the courts that the government decided against him.

According to the Council, his neighbors were not influenced by the extension built in 2018 and attached to the ground floor apartment and especially added with smoke from the chimneys.

Inspectors, Sunroom’s original property, a listed building or a wider street, ‘character’ is not ‘character’, he said.

Mr. Caughey Fum did: ‘I think it’s nonsense. Most people I talk about in the region love the smell of smoke and I use it from time to time. ‘

Talking with STV, the solar room was built with high -quality Spanish parquet sent from abroad, and the state of the orange, which was in place when purchased before, was’ dangerous and ‘chaotic’.

Mr. Caughey added: ‘You can’t even see the garden from the street. It doesn’t cause anyone to harm or anything else. ‘

Mr Caughey’s planning agency, who challenged the idea that there are many complaints, said as part of his appeal: ‘GCC Execution means “various complaints” about the structure.

“ We are aware of a complaint from the neighboring property and we understand that there are long -standing disputes from them.

‘My customers are not aware of other complaints in the region, and therefore we recommend that the word “various” is used in a fake way to compile the GCC report.

In 2018, Sunroom was built as an extension of the Terrained building in the mid -19th century, but GCC says no planning permission for this.

However, Mr. Caughey argued that the property had a single -storey solar room when he bought the property in the 1990s.

Orangery was said to be a dangerous condition by Mr. Caughey himself, and he took out the glazed element and left the ground and ground to return at some point in the future.

Sunroom said in 2018 that ‘original footprint’ was based.

In addition, the appeal argued that the Council did not respond to queries on retrospective planning permit and that a notification has been rejected in advance – GCC rejected it.

When the extension was installed behind the property, two flues were placed in a workshop in a workshop to confront the lane extending to the back of the property.

In November last year, the Council ordered it to be abolished according to the conditions of planning permission or listed building approval.

Mr Caughey’s appeal application, argued that Sunroom was established six years before the execution declaration was submitted.

The Council also decided that the smoke from the chimneys had a ‘direct impact on the size of neighboring properties’.

When Mailonline visited the street, the neighbors expressed the same concerns.

They said that the ‘Black Duman’ from the chimneys is about the surrounding inhabitants and that Dennistouun was the visible streets of Duke Street.

Mr. Caughey, who lives in the property with others above and below, could not be used when he tried to contact him.

A man who said he had lived in the basement of the building listed shouted and told us to go to our reporter.

However, a neighbor who did not want to give his name agreed to complain about the chimneys and the solar room.

They said: ‘I have nothing but the fact that we are not happy.

‘It wasn’t as much as the smoke from fires, which was a big aspect of things.’

They admitted that other neighbors were worried about their influence on young children and added: ‘You could see the smoke from Duke Street on the way to the hill.

“ Black and heavy and a few neighbors can see, but I do not think anyone wants to comment more on this issue.

‘It was so bad that the neighbors pulled a video at that time.’

Another neighbor added: ‘I know about the double chimney, but we did not complain personally.

‘Although there was a nursery here, perhaps it impressed some people who use it.’

Brian Johnston, a planning collector for Dennistouun Community Council, wrote a letter of support for extension, wrote that the study was ‘sympathetic to the original building’ and praised the workmanship and design in high quality.

Flues stuck on a rear lane, the council said they were not ‘enough distance’ from neighboring houses and that a retrospective planning application would be rejected.

The reporter Simon Bonsalll, who was appointed by the Scottish government, concluded that planning permission was necessary for both structures and this was violated by skipping the process.

The approval of the building listed was rejected for the Sun Room: ‘Although Orangery’s impact on the setting is not harmful, I think it will not be suitable for the character of the building listed through the design, location and materials of the bill.’

A Glasgow Municipal Assembly spokesman said: ‘The Scottish government, which gives the appeal on the grounds that the structure does not benefit from the planning permission or the consent of the building listed and that the wood burning stoves caused the exclusion of the surrounding houses – is not the Glasgow City Council.

‘It should be understood that the unauthorized replacement of a listed building is not a civilian, but a guilty criminal, and therefore carries a higher examination.

‘It is not true that we withdraw a notification and that the attempt to present a planning application is not correct, indeed, it was accepted that the residence has left its applications in the draft section of the online planning process and did not send it.’

If Mr. Caughey wanted to object to the appeal, he would have to take the case to the highest court of Scotland, to the session court.
