The Shark House has been attracting attention since 1986 when Bill Heine constructed the massive sculpture without planning permission.
The Shark House has caused controversy for many years A controversial house with a huge shark crashing through its roof is facing a new battle with the local council. Bill died in 2019 and his son Magnus Hanson-Heine took over the property, having used Airbnb to let the property out as short term holiday accommodation for the last five years.
‘Short lets aren’t the cause of the housing crisis, and politicians using their existing failures as an excuse to grab for yet more personal power is a disgrace.’ Two years after it was originally built, Oxford City Council refused retrospective planning permission for the 25ft long steel and fibreglass sculpture. But the family appealed, and eventually then-Secretary of State Michael Heseltine intervened to allow it to stay.
