A Punch and Judy beach hut owner is at war with locals after she installed an 'invasive' walled fence in front of her shed which they have branded as a 'blot on the landscape'.
The structure has been branded as 'extremely ugly' by enraged locals who feel the the new balustrades - which you can't see through - are a 'selfish construction'.
'Horrified' hut owners said the work carried out by Sophie Jarman is not in keeping with other wooden sheds on Hordle Cliffs beach in Milford on Sea, Hampshire, as it overshadows nearby properties and creates a 'dark, imposing landscape'.
Ms Jarman carried out the work after she purchased the brightly coloured red and yellow striped beach hut, which was sold for over £30,000.
The businesswoman has since lodged a retrospective planning application and stated she was 'unaware' she needed to seek permission to replace the decking and balustrades - which are plain wood and not painted like the surrounding structures.
