A businessman who increased the size of his home in every direction without planning permission, and to the fury of some neighbours, has declared: 'I don't understand what I've done wrong!'
Mohammed Rahman extended to the front, the rear and side, and even built a structure at the end of his long back garden with one local saying: 'It looks like a little house.'
But he failed to acknowledge what he had done wrong until planners warned him it was an 'illegal build' which had caused 'significant stress to some residents' in Elmdon, near Solihull, West Midlands.
One officer told him: 'You can't extend your property in every direction without seeking the proper permission.'
Mr Rahman, understood to be in his 30s, was forced to submit a retrospective planning application which was finally given the green light last week (May 21) by Solihull Council.
