Homeowner ordered to take down dormer extension that looks like a 'football stadium executive box' after neighbours branded it 'a monstrosity'
A homeowner has been ordered to take down dormer extension that has been labelled a 'monstrosity' and compared to an 'executive box' at a Premier League football stadium. Rozia Hussian, 43, splashed thousands on the large extension atop her 125-year-old terraced property in Worcester, West Midlands, which has since increased the property's market value by more than 200 per cent. The mid-terraced house was bought for £100,000 in 2003 when it was in a ramshackled condition with peeling paint and chipped brick work. Over the last four years, the three-bedroom house on Wyld's Lane, has undergone a complete transformation and according to Rightmove it is now worth up to £320,000. A wall and intercom system was installed at the front of the house while a large dormer was built on top of the two-storey property. But Mrs Hussain now faces having to demolish it after Worcester City Council rejected her retrospective planning application. The council said: 'By virtue of its size, design and position, the addition of the large box dormer to the front of the property results in detrimental impact and creates significant harm to the character and appearance of the existing property and wider street scene in which it sits. 'The dormer at Wylds Lane is much more visually intrusive than the approved, well-designed, more subtle addition.' A wall and intercom system was installed at the front of the house while a large dormer was built on top of the two-storey property Mrs Hussain, who owns a newsagents in the city, said she didn't 'know anything' about the planning application being rejected, adding: 'I don't think it looks too big.' The decision has also divided her neighbours, who have split opinions on the rejection. One said they 'think the house looks much better now' as it was in a 'terrible state a few years ago'. They added: 'It now looks modern and clean. The dormer doesn't really bother me but I think some people are concerned because it looks right onto their properties.' Another resident, who lives nearby in a similar property, said: 'A few years ago I applied to have a dormer on my house but it was refused. One neighbour said they 'think the house looks much better now' as it was in a 'terrible state a few years ago' 'The reason the council gave was because it would not be in keeping with the area or sympathetic to the age and heritage of the property. 'In my view I just think that it would be grossly unfair if this woman was allowed to have a large dormer on her property when I was not. 'I mean the extension is very big. It looks like an executive box you get at Premier League football grounds. 'When my friend visited he asked what the monstrosity was on one of the houses so it's clearly noticeable to people.' Mrs Hussain has three months to tear down the dormer or face enforcement action. Mrs Hussain has three months to tear down the dormer or face enforcement action A city spokesperson said: 'An enforcement notice was served on 17 June that comes into effect on 17 July. 'This requires the applicant to remove the dormer and restore the roof or adapt the current dormer so that it complies with the planning permission given. 'They have three months to carry out the works. 'They have until 17 July to appeal against the notice.'

Croatia's ‘party island' hiding little-known piece of paradise
Hvar is known to tourists for its vibrant nightlife and party culture, but with new laws clamping down on the main town's shenanigans, a hidden gem on the other side of the island is the next best thing Hvar, one of Croatia's many islands, is just a two-hour ferry ride from Split. The main spot, Hvar Town, is known as a party destination with tourists pouring in during the summer months to go straight from the beach to the clubs and back. But, less than an hour away from the hustle and bustle is a lesser-known side of the island. Family-friendly, tranquil and everything you could imagine in a sliver of Mediterranean paradise. This is Stari Grad, one of the oldest towns in Europe with a full-time population of less than two thousand people. Arriving by ferry on this secluded side of Hvar, it's easy to forget it's a 'party island' at all as you're enveloped in the serenity of Mediterranean countryside. Stari Grad's crystal-clear waters and iconic long bay create the most gorgeous views as the sun sets right down the middle of it during the summer months. The waterside promenade also boasts a plethora of local bars and restaurants where you can watch the dazzling display with a glass of Bogdanusa from the edge of ancient Roman mosaic floors dating back to the second century. Down the city's narrow alleyways, you can find a range of local treats and handmade goods, from painters to bakers. All are experts in their crafts and friendly as they come. In the summer, the streets come alive with flowers complementing the ancient stonework, making for some stunning photos. The medenjaci, traditional Croatian cookies, are to die for. The island is also known for its lavender fields, with several vendors offering dried plants, oils, and other handmade lavender products. After a few minutes of walking, you may even come across Petar Hektorović's castle. The Renaissance poet built the pinnacle of a writer's sanctuary into his favourite town, which is still mostly intact today. It has all the plants he collected during his travels and his famous fishpond. It may not sound like much, but the atmosphere is indescribable, like pure tranquility in physical form. All of this is just a short walk away from Valamar's [PLACES] hotel. Providing some of the upbeat party culture Hvar is known for without distracting from the natural wilderness it's surrounded by. When the sun goes down, the pool stage lights up as DJs and performers take over, excited chatter takes over as cocktails pour out of the multiple bars until the late hours of the evening. The resort features apartments and villas just a few short steps from the ocean, where a secluded beach allows visitors a dip in the crystal clear waters. It also features a quaint spa next to an array of huts, bean bags and lounging chairs in a 'quiet zone' that creates a true break away from all the stressors of life. Allowing you to completely unwind as the birds sing in harmony with the rhythm of the ocean. Just next door is the family-friendly Valamar Amicor resort. Water slides, game rooms, sports courts, even virtual reality football, are just a quick walk or tricycle ride from the lavish villas. Its delicious buffet restaurant also caters to every picky eater imaginable, from pancakes to oysters. Our local guides note that mid-summer is Hvar's busiest time of year, which also means prices for resorts and activities go up. However, they also point out that even the depths of winter rarely hit single-digit temperatures here. For anyone planning a getaway, they recommend skipping July or August and going for May, June, or September, when temperatures are just as high but the beaches are empty and the rates are lower. The tourist hotspot of Hvar Town is less than an hour's drive away from Stari Grad. If you plan the right route, you might even come across local family wineries up on the mountains that offer unmatchable views of the bay as you sip. Our little group even managed to catch a glimpse of Jeff Bezo's super yacht sailing in as he and Lauren Sanchez enjoyed the last few days together before their lavish wedding. Out in Hvar Town, there's something to do and see down each cobbled street. From the 16th-century fortress lording over the city to a museum dedicated to the Hvar detective who pioneered forensic fingerprinting techniques. From Hvar's port, sailboats depart for several local swim spots and other islands. The blaring sun can get intense out on the sea, so sunscreen is recommended at the bare minimum, but diving into a still, crystal-clear ocean is an inimitable feeling. Of course, there's still Hvar's vibrant nightlife, but authorities are clamping down on rules this summer to curb the onslaught of rowdy tourists it's known for collecting. They are limiting noise levels, cutting parties earlier, and adding fines for things like wearing beach attire in certain venues. Book it [PLACES] Hvar by Valamar has doubles from £123 (€144), FLEXI Half Board included Kapetan Luka sails catamarans from Hvar.

The two North Wales coastal sites in demand with house hunters from Manchester and Cheshire
Two prime coastal spots in North Wales are drawing in property seekers from across the border, according to an estate agency in Cheshire's 'Golden Triangle". The region's breathtaking coastline beaches are luring wealthy individuals across the border for either a permanent residence or a holiday retreat. Gascoigne Halman, an estate agency based in Alderley Edge, has noted sustained interest from buyers in Greater Manchester and Cheshire, all enticed by the tranquil coastal lifestyle promised. Known for its affluence and expensive homes, the village of Alderley Edge attracts wealthy residents including Premier League footballers, actors and businesspeople. Both families and professionals are gravitating towards northwest Wales, drawn by the area's "scenic splendour, quaint villages, cultural richness and accessible transport links", reports the Manchester Evening News. Specifically, Anglesey is attracting a lot of interest, said Richard Leece, manager at Gascoigne Halman's Alderley Edge branch. So to is an old favourite, the village of Abersoch on the Llŷn Peninsula, Gwynedd. "Anglesey and Abersoch are not only beautiful, they're aspirational in their own right," said Mr Leece. "There's a long history of Cheshire residents buying in both areas, drawn to the understated luxury, sweeping views and outdoor lifestyle. Sign up now for the latest news on the North Wales Live Whatsapp community "Whether it's paddle boarding before breakfast or watching the sunset with a glass of wine, these aren't just holiday homes, they're sanctuaries that restore balance in busy lives.' (Image: Getty Images) More recently, places like Abersoch have also become known for the number of Ar Werth (For Sale) signs on roadsides. According to Rightmove, the number of homes for sale in Gwynedd in June 2025 was 146% higher than in June 2021. Owners of second homes and holiday cottages have complained of the need to slash prices to attract buyers. Despite signs of a recent bounce, the county's housing market has been falling in the wake of measures designed to constrain holiday homes. Some residential owners have also lamented the impact on their own properties. Abersoch and its fleet of jet skis has the highest estimated number of chargeable second homes in Wales, according to Welsh Government figures. Being around two hours and 20 minutes from Greater Manchester, and roughly two hours from Cheshire, a community has built up that attracts the like-minded, making it synonymous in Wales with the tensions that exist in the country's housing market. This cosmopolitan former fishing village revolves around a natural harbour, where rows of boats bob in the marina, reflecting the integral role sailing plays in Abersoch life. Another focus point is it sandy beach and row of price-spiralling beach huts. As well as being a hotspot for water sports enthusiasts, Abersoch also boasts an array of boutique shops, top-notch eateries and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. According to Rightmove, the average house price in Abersoch over the past year was £585,000. Detached properties made up the majority of sales last year, fetching an average price of £803,750. Terraced houses sold for an average of £311,667, while semi-detached properties commanded £732,500. (Image: Gascoigne Halman) Meanwhile, Anglesey is renowned for its picturesque 125-mile long coastline and historic landmarks, including the 13th-century gem that is Beaumaris Castle. The island was recently crowned the UK's best British island by The Telegraph. It can be reached in around an hour and 50 minutes from Greater Manchester, and an hour and a half from Cheshire. According to agents, the area offers a much slower pace of life and has been previously recognised as one of the "happiest places to live in the UK". Rightmove figures show that houses in Anglesey sold for an average price of £257,742 over the last year. Most were detached properties, fetching an average price of £344,635. Terraced houses sold for an average of £164,634, whilst semi-detached properties sold for around £215,545. (Image: Gascoigne Halman) What you can buy in Abersoch and Anglesey Gascoigne Halman is currently marketing two developments in these areas. The company said it's had lots of enquiries from a mixed demographic. Situated on the former site of the Bull Bay Hotel, the new development of Tai Porth Llechog on Anglesey's northern coastline is made up of three detached homes, a dormer bungalow and nine luxury apartments priced from £275,000. It offers a wide range of "high-spec" accommodation designed to make the most of the area's panoramic views. The detached homes feature an "upside-down'" design with living spaces on the first floor to make the most of the sweeping sea views, as well as boasting large balconies, open-plan layouts and floor-to-ceiling windows. The development's elevated position ensures uninterrupted sea views and the surrounding Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) adds to its appeal, says the agency. Much to the frustration of local people, all properties at Tai Porth Llechog must be sold as secondary residences or holiday homes. When approving the development, Anglesey Council said its hands were tied by historic planning rules. (Image: Gascoigne Halman) Meanwhile, Waters Reach in Abersoch is the epitome of a dream coastal home, said Gascoigne Halman. This five-bedroom detached house occupies a prime half-acre plot, boasting 180-degree views over the Cambrian Mountains, St Tudwal's Islands and Warren Beach. The property offers just under 3,000 sq ft of living space, comprising four generously-sized ground-floor bedrooms, three with sea views, two modern bathrooms and a vast open-plan living area. Upstairs, a delightful bedroom and sitting area with picture windows provide a private retreat with "unparalleled" views of the coastline. The property is ideally located a stone's throw from the beach, with Abersoch Inner Harbour beach merely a two-minute walk away. The village itself is accessible on foot at low tide. This home is currently listed for £3 million. Sign up for the North Wales Live newsletter sent twice daily to your inbox Find properties for sale or let near you
