A furious homeowner is at war with his local council after he was ordered to demolish his extension and wood-burning chimneys.

Gerrard Caughey has branded the decision 'nonsense' after planning chiefs said he built the sunroom at his Glasgow home without permission.

Mr Caughey was slapped with two enforcement notices by Glasgow City Council (GCC) but took his fight to the courts where the government ruled against him.

According to the council, his neighbours were also unimpressed with the extension, built in 2018 and attached to his ground-floor flat, and in particular with smoke billowing out of his chimneys.

While inspectors said the sunroom was not in 'character' with the original property, a listed building, or the wider street.
