Town hall chiefs last night vowed to kill off David Cameron’s plan to allow large extensions in back gardens.
They warned his free-for-all would encourage unsightly development and spark tension between neighbours.
In a huge blow to the Coalition’s flagship housing policy, the Local Government Association said councils would not implement the plans.
Homeowners can currently build a 10ft extension at a terraced property – and 13ft at a detached house – without planning consent.
Mr Cameron wants these limits doubled to 20ft and 26ft for a three-year period.
The move is needed to boost the economy, the Prime Minister says. But without the co-operation of town hall chiefs the policy is unlikely to be implemented.
Last year councils rejected outright only 22,000 of the 200,000 applications they received.
And the LGA, which represents more than 370 councils, fears that without such scrutiny these failed plans would now go ahead.
Fine way of explaining, and nice piece of writing to get facts about
