A couple who have been ordered to demolish a million-pound property they secretly built and moved into have complained they will have nowhere to go to.
Jeremy Zielinski and his wife Elaine were given permission for a two-storey commercial building for a stallion semen collection centre and laboratory, with a small first floor flat for staff.
But while the outside of the property in 17-acres of land they bought in Great Abington, Cambridgeshire, adhered to their planning application, they turned the interior into a well-appointed three-bedroom home with stunning feature windows overlooking the countryside.
Council officials got wind of the subterfuge and issued an enforcement notice in 2023 to tear the structure down.
The couple appealed against the order on the grounds that it was excessive and the property could simply revert to the permitted use.
