How man waged war with council over two-storey HOUSE on his driveway

It was a brazen move by a homeowner that set off a years-long feud with Birmingham Council.

Mr M Singh was ordered to tear down a building on his driveway after he constructed a two-storey home in place of what was meant to be a humble garage.

Council bosses were left shocked to discover the family, who had originally been given approval for a single-storey garage at their semi-detached property in Highgate, Birmingham, had instead built a little house.

When MailOnline visited the property in October 2022, the homeowner had lost an appeal against the enforcement action, but the structure - including a large dormer window - was still intact.

But three years later, the building, though remains standing, looks entirely different.
