Search the Public Notice PortalTwo new bungalows have been approved in a Darlington village after their foundations were built in the wrong place.
Plans for two homes near The Spinney in Middleton St George had already been approved by Darlington Borough Council in 2019 and work on the foundations started that summer.
However, they were built in different positions to the approved plans and both sets of foundations had to be moved by less than five metres.
Traffic concerns raised
Six objections were made to the plans.
Residents raised concerns about extra traffic, road safety, parking, access and disruption while the homes are being built.
Middleton St George Parish Council also objected, raising concerns about traffic and the loss of open land separating Middleton St George and Oak Tree.
The council said the land is part of a protected green gap between the two communities, where new building is normally restricted.

However, planning officers said permission for two homes had already been given and building work had begun.
They decided that moving the homes slightly would not cause enough harm to refuse the plans.
Both properties will have slightly larger gardens as a result of the changes.
