Gordon and Katie Maxwell extended their detached property in Bishopbriggs. East Dunbartonshire Council have hit the couple with an enforcement notice after they ruled the rear extension had been erected without proper permission.

A couple have been ordered to tear down a two-storey extension on their house or face a possible £50,000 fine.

The notice, served on the couple in February, states they must completely remove it or face a fine of up to £50,000. In a letter to the government, they said: "We are appealing this notice based on the legislation which states, 'where there has been a breach of planning control consisting in the carrying out without planning permission of building, engineering, mining, or other operations in, on, over or under land, no enforcement action may be taken after the end of the period of four years beginning with the date on which the operations were substantially complete'.

"Taking the above timeline of works into consideration, the time duration from substantial completion of the construction works to the date of the enforcement notice which is dated as 29th February 2024, is recorded as five years, two months and six days .
