Couple who illegally converted their garage into an extra house

Wednesday 14 February 2018

A couple flouted planning regulations by converting their garage into an extra home - and then hid it behind fences and a fake garage door.

Dr Reeta Herzallah and Hamdi Almasri, from Enderby, Leicestershire, were visited by officers from Blaby District Council, who began investigating the couple in October 2015.

They found the couple had converted their garage into extra living space, installed a fence which blocked a parking slot, and created an unauthorised access route onto the B4114 dual carriageway.
