Musician's 'dream studio' demolished over planning breach

A musician who built a wheelchair-accessible recording studio without the correct planning permission has had it demolished by the council.

Nick Allen had permission to rebuild a barn in Holt, near Bradford-on-Avon, but not to convert it into a studio.

Wiltshire Council said it contravened planning policy and must be removed - a decision backed by the Planning Inspectorate and the High Court.

Mr Allen, a wheelchair user, said the demolition "had destroyed a dream".
