Couple Hoodwinked the Council

Thursday 13 April 2017

Couple are accused of hoodwinking planning chiefs after winning permission to build 'our family's dream eco house' then putting the £700,000 plot up for sale days later

Furious neighbours claim Andrea and Tom Chippendale duped council planners
They say couple will cash in because value has been inflated by 'green' image
Couple convinced planners with dream of 'innovative eco-home for our family'
But six weeks later it was on the market for £700,000, say neighbours in Bath

Today the council denied it had been fooled and claimed the planning committee made the right decision.

A spokesman said: 'The council has undertaken a review of the decision through the council's complaints process and due process has been followed.

'Planning permission is connected to the land – not an individual person – therefore a future owner of the site could implement the permission.'
