‘Eyesore’: Mum ordered to demolish $324k granny flat

A mum who spent $324,000 on a two-storey granny flay for her disabled daughter has been ordered to tear it down after losing a final planning fight. Clair Birch, 59, built the backyard dwelling at her semi-detached home in Worcester, England, so her daughter could have more independence. Instead, the build sparked a bitter neighbourhood backlash, with locals labelling it an “eyesore” and comparing it to a “second house”. According to reports by The Sun, the row centres on the size of the structure. Ms Birch had originally secured approval for a far smaller one-bedroom granny flat, but later sought retrospective permission for the much bigger two-storey version that was ultimately built. Worcester City Council refused the application and issued an enforcement notice ordering the granny flat to be demolished.
