Abigail, aged three, in planning battle over Wendy House

Little Abigail Gent has clashed with planning bosses over where to put her dream Wendy house.

The siting of the three-year-old's play house at her parents' home near Whitchurch sparked a six-week wrangle with officials.

Now the youngster is free to play to her heart's content after planning bosses at Wrexham County Borough Council gave her the all clear to carry on using it.

At one stage the Wendy house, which the pre-schooler uses most days, was even facing the prospect of being pulled down unless it was moved a matter of yards to a site which officials said was more suitable.

Now Abigail's parents have got the necessary planning permission for the playhouse - but only after filling in various forms, completing surveys and taking photographs to appease officials.

Abigail's father, Richard Gent, said he thought the "world had gone mad" when he learned the offending Wendy house was on planning officials' radars.
