A probe has been launched into a huge home extension which left the property inches from an NHS worker s house - leaving him unable to sleep for worry.

A HOMEOWNER has been left furious after his neighbour s huge extension left their properties just inches apart.
Stuart Smith, from Kings Norton, Birmingham, is fuming about the bizarre and overlapping construction, with less than eight inches separating the properties.

The 42-year-old claims plans were not followed as builders were unable to properly fit the roof on his neighbour s home.
He claimed the catalogue of errors across the boundary line meant guttering attached to the properties touched, leaving him worried about drainage and issues with damp.
Planning officers for Birmingham City Council are now probing the extension, which saw works carried out over a garage to increase the property size from three to five bedrooms.
