12-acre eco-development must be torn down
A man who constructed an eco retreat of buildings made by hand in Powys has been told to knock it all down due to lack of planning permission.
Eddie McIntosh, 52, built the 12-acre farm himself with wooden classrooms and cabins, and it was once dubbed an inspiration by Kevin McCloud of Grand Designs.
The father of two began developing 'Mellowcroft' woodland in Llandegley near Llandrindod Wells more than 12 years ago, as a way of living a sustainable lifestyle.
However, he now has to tear the whole thing down after he lost a court case with Powys County Council.
