A council in Highcliffe, Dorset, has approved a planning application for a golf simulator cabin built by company director Pete Bransky, despite discrepancies in the reported height of the structure. The original planning application stated the cabin's height was just under the permitted 8.2 feet, but it was later revealed to be part of a larger structure measuring 23 feet wide and 13.5 feet long. Neighbors have expressed concerns that Bransky misled council officials and that the cabin poses a fire hazard due to its proximity to their fences and potential damage to tree roots. One resident criticized the council's credibility, stating that multiple plans with varying measurements should not have been approved. Bransky, who operates a printing business, defended his construction, noting that he has not raised complaints about his neighbors' home improvements. He emphasized that the cabin is necessary for his golf activities and is properly insulated to minimize noise. The BCP Council has recommended that Bransky consult a tree surgeon within the next two years to assess the health of nearby protected trees.
