Dad secretly builds giant playhouse for kids for free - but people warn it's huge size means council may tear it down
A DAD secretly built an amazing playhouse complete with windows and lights for his four daughters - but other people have warned, while it looks brilliant, it might breach planning rules.
The dad wrote on the Extreme Coupons and Bargains UK Facebook page to tell how he had built the structure from scratch, after getting the rotting shed for free and upcycling the roof.He said: "[I] give it a go , from building support frames to re-felting roof."It appears to be in two levels and even has windows and lighting.There are stairs inside the house"Your girls will be very happy! You should stand back, take a look and be very proud," said one woman.
"Just asking coz [sic] it's best to know, tbf the play house is nice and it would be a shame if it gets forcefully knockdown." One woman said: "Where we live a councillor put up a huge shed and didn’t get permission, had to take it down. Anything over 6ft [by] 6ft defo needs planning. Not 100% about size but think it’s 3 metres.According to the UK Government you will probably need planning permission if you want to:change the use of your buildingPlanning permission is granted by local authorities.
