A businessman is ordered to demolish a garden annexe he built in his property after a local council determines it functions as a separate two-bedroom home. Reporting states that Luke Perret, 31, spent about three years constructing the annexe, estimated at £200,000. The council reportedly finds features consistent with residential accommodation, including a basement, a study room, and a walk-in wardrobe. The order gives him a limited period—reported as nine months—to complete the teardown. The reports frame the dispute around the annexe’s status and compliance rather than its construction details alone, indicating the council views the structure as an unauthorized dwelling rather than an ancillary outbuilding. The accounts do not specify the exact planning breach or whether an appeal process is underway. The decision reflects the council’s assessment of how the structure is used or intended to be used, and it results in a requirement to remove the building within the stated deadline.
