As enraged neighbors blasted it as a "abomination," a man slammed for ripping up the lawn at his £550k house and paving over his garden to create a CAR PARK

Miteshkumar Patel, 45, denounced planning conditions and paved over his entire front garden, transforming it into a seven-space parking garage outside his Southampton, Hampshire home. Mr Patel was allowed to convert his garage into a separate two-bedroom house in 2021 as long as he maintained green landscaping. However, the businessman dug up his lawn and chopped down a tree to begin the double drive way, causing locals to yell. Despite councillors' comments that he had violated the rules, Southampton Council accepted his request for amended planning permission. "We thought it was an abomination," one neighbor told MailOnline, "We thought it was an abomination." They've ruined it.' We thought it was all wrong, but what will you do if the council has overruled you?'
