Overview

• Neighbours objected almost immediately to the bus’s presence, prompting a visit from Surrey Heath’s Corporate Enforcement Department
• The council initially confirmed no planning breach but reversed its stance after a second complaint and issued a formal removal order
• Salmon abandoned her appeal in court, citing mounting stress and legal costs, and agreed to relocate the bus
• She invested about £6,000 in the Dennis double-decker and £2,000 on renovation materials with hopes of running a family-owned café and bar
• The dispute has left her feeling ostracised and anxious, and Surrey Heath Borough Council has declined to comment
