An entrepreneur has won a bitter planning row for the right to use her new £20,000 back garden shed as a creche.
Holly Fitzsimons, from Ingleby Barwick, North Yorkshire, built the wooden cabin for her Little Oaks childminding business, prompting a neighbor to complain it would be noisy and ‘out of character’ with the neighborhood.
The 27-year-old claims she contacted the council prior to building the shed and was informed she did not need planning permission.
