A dodgy landlord has been busted for converting a shed into a home without getting planning permission.

Harrow Council discovered on Thursday, March 30 that the owner had turned their rear extension into a living area with a bed, kitchen and bathroom.

They have been asked to stop using their shed in this way but if they fail to do so by April 24, formal notice will be served to them.

A spokesperson for Harrow Council, who was not named, said: “The landlord converted a rear extension into a residential unit without planning permission.

“We have asked the owner to stop the use of this and remove the kitchen and bathroom.

“If he does not remove this by 24 April then we will take further action and formal notice will be served.”
