Captain Sir Tom Moore's fundraising efforts have been magnificent and inspiring. His family have recently received news that their planning application appeal against the demolition of an unauthorised home spa in their garden has been dismissed.
Hannah Ingram-Moore and her husband had applied in 2021 for permission to build the spa in the grounds of their home in Marston Moretaine, Bedfordshire. Initially the L-shaped building had been given the green light, however, a retrospective application for a larger C-shaped building was refused in 2022.
The family appealed this decision, but the Planning Inspectorate dismissed the appeal after a hearing last month. Inspector Diane Fleming noted that the 'scale and massing' of the building had resulted in harm to the Grade II listed family home, The Old Rectory.
Despite the setback, it is worth remembering the incredible efforts of Captain Sir Tom Moore and his family. His fundraising efforts have been nothing short of remarkable, having raised more than £12million for the NHS. We can only hope that his family can find a solution to this issue that works for both them and the local council.
