A couple have won a year-long battle with their local council to keep their £20,000 summer house - after shifting it one metre.
Martin Keyes and Catherine Curran locked horns with local planners over their garden retreat after receiving a letter telling them it had to come down.
The pair, from Greenock on the west coast of Scotland, applied for retrospective planning permission but were told by Inverclyde Council to remove the hut.
Having been told it was 'too big' and too close to a neighbouring house, despite receiving no complaints, the couple appealed - but lost after councillors conducted a site visit.
They've since found a way around the demolition order, paying more money above and beyond the £20k they've spent on the house to shimmy it a metre over.
