A 'monstrosity' house extension was approved without neighbours' objections - after the city council forgot to mention trees shielding its view from them would be felled.

City of York Council said a garden room proposed at the property would be 'barely visible' because it would be screened by trees and shrubs.

But it failed to clock the planning application for the large wooden structure said the trees along the shared boundary would be cut down.

The first neighbour Lorraine Eadie realised was when they were felled and the extension was built. 

Miss Eadie said when the application was submitted for the garden room at the back of a property, she didn't object because she thought she wouldn't see it.  

The council planning officer's report stated: 'It will be very well screened by trees and shrubs and will not harm the visual amenity of the existing dwelling, or immediate surrounding area.
