Overview

• Jeremy and Elaine Zielinski were granted planning permission in 2014 for a horse semen collection lab with staff accommodations but built a three-bedroom home instead.
• A planning inspector dismissed the couple's appeal, concluding the building was designed and used as a residence from the outset, violating planning regulations.
• The inspector found minimal evidence of any horse semen business activity, with no laboratory or related facilities ever installed on the property.
• South Cambridgeshire District Council issued a demolition notice in 2023, and the inspector has now ordered the property to be razed by May 6, 2026.
• The couple, claiming financial losses of £1 million and potential homelessness, are exploring further legal options to challenge the decision.
