Mother forced to demolish house for daughter
A mother who built a £170,000 house for her daughter with disabilities has been ordered to demolish it due to lack of planning permission. 58-year-old Claire Birch claims she built a two-bedroom annex because her daughter has "a phobia of being on the first floor at night.""I built this house to provide our family with comfort and safety. I never imagined it would cause so many problems," she said.Ms. Birch began construction earlier this year but is now facing legal difficulties and a demand to demolish the new structure. Local authorities emphasize that all construction work must be carried out in accordance with established requirements. This situation highlights the difficulties faced by people trying to adapt their living conditions to meet the needs of their family. Having building permits is an important aspect that cannot be ignored, regardless of intentions and situations. It is crucial that in such cases, authorities offer support and alternative solutions for people with disabilities.
