Fury as huge 12ft structure built in front of new-build home without warning

A 12 metre metal structure has been built in front of the couple's new home (Image: Iain Buist/Newcastle Chronicle) A couple have recalled the moment they discovered a huge 12 metre metal structure footsteps from the front door of their new build home. Ewan Botcherby, 25, and his partner bought a four-bedroom detached home in the Callerton area of Newcastle for £359,995. They bought the property, overlooking a golf course, from Bellway in October 2023.

They were left shocked when a 12 metre metal structure, used to support netting and protect residents from golf balls, was built in front of their door and complained to the New Homes Ombudsman Service (NHOS) after moving in in January. The NHOS found that Bellway should have given "fuller information" about the netting and its location relative to their property, ChronicleLive reports. They decided they had suffered distress and ordered Bellway to pay them £700 in compensation.
