The changes made to the semi-detached homes in Monmouthshire were classified as permitted development rights, which avoid the need for planning permission according to local council regulations.
Ken Hammond joined the homes by creating an internal doorway, focusing solely on internal alterations that did not affect the exterior of the properties, thus evading the requirement for planning permission.
Monmouthshire County Council ruled that no planning permission was needed as the internal changes didn't significantly alter the character of the homes or their surroundings.
Planning permission is required for converting a single house into multiple homes, but merging two semi-detached houses into one does not trigger that requirement.
