- A couple in Swafield, Norfolk, were forced to close their £85-per-night holiday home due to a council decision.
- The council deemed their driveway too small, citing insufficient space for cars to manoeuvre safely onto the road.
- Mark Short and husband Lawrence Wolfe had invested £16,000 in converting a shed into the holiday let. They disputed the council's assessment, stating that none of their 120 guests had experienced issues.
- The council also required an additional £10,000 investment for "nutrient neutrality works" to prevent water pollution.
- Discouraged by the added costs and the council's ruling, the couple decided to relocate back to Milton Keynes.
