It a long running saga that has been reported at length in The Tines and
elsewhere. A Google search will reveal more. In essence her argument is
that
she should not have to obey the law relating to listed buildings. She has
put up all sorts of arguments none of which stand up to even cursory
scrutiny. An absolute classic case of pig headed stupidity all too common
in
planning disputes where the building owner thinks they are above the law.
Almost without exception it ends up with them losing and with a large
bill.
Why do they do it?


The lady has had polio and is in a wheelchair, Peter.


I am well aware of that.


She should not be put into a position of being unable to use her home.


Her disability is no excuse for breaking the law.


When the law is an ass, her duty is to break it. That's how laws get
changed to resemble common sense. As I see it, the local council is
infringing on her human rights. Maybe that's the next step. As has been
said in the past, "I don't agree with your views(home) but I defend
your right to have those views and to live as you please in your own home"
