Homeowner's fury as council backs illegal wall blocking her sea view
"Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story."
"A Dorset homeowner is furious after local planners backed an illegal concrete wall obstructing her sea view. Liz Bates accused unscrupulous developers of making a mockery of the planning system while building luxury flats. The 16ft by 8ft privacy wall, interrupting her Poole Bay view and devaluing her property by 50,000, was built without permission by Vivir Estates. They later submitted a retrospective application to keep it, claiming they had done her a favour."
The Independent funds on-the-ground journalism covering topics from reproductive rights to climate change and Big Tech and declines to use paywalls, relying on donations to maintain reporting.

The wall was built without permission and a retrospective application was later submitted. Planners initially found the wall visually intrusive and materially harmful to neighbours, but revised developer plans led officers to recommend approval despite objections.
