Overview

• Worcester City Council served an enforcement notice on June 17 that takes effect July 17 and compels the dormer’s removal or modification by mid-October
• Rozia Hussain has until July 17 to lodge an appeal against the notice or face the council’s enforcement action
• The council ruled that the dormer’s size, design and position cause significant harm to the character of the Victorian terrace and wider street scene
• Neighbours remain split, with some branding the extension a “monstrosity” likened to a stadium executive box and others welcoming the modernised appearance
• Rightmove estimates the renovated three-bedroom house is now worth up to £320,000, more than triple its 2003 purchase price of £100,000
