EXCLUSIVE My neighbours have built an extension over my property by 15 INCHES... it has destroyed my home and left me facing £85k bill
A single mother has claimed a neighbour 'destroyed' her home after building a new wall that encroaches onto her property by 15 inches. Brenda Grant, from Uxbridge, west London, said Amarjit Singh Dhunna sliced her plastic conservatory roof to build his own extension wall, but left small gaps allowing water to run and leak into her property. After taking the case to court, Ms Grant owes £25k to her solicitor and fears she could lose her home of 22 years. The mother-of-one also faces a £60k bill to fix the water damage to her walls and floors. Ms Grant told MailOnline: 'Since he cut the roof, water has been coming into the conservatory; I have a report from a builder that it is destroyed. 'This has made me depressed. I have anxiety and panic attacks. I lock myself in the house and I am withdrawn, I don't come out. 'My son [is so depressed] he doesn't go to school. Basically he locks himself in his room.' Do YOU have a story? Email After the building work went ahead in March 2021, Ms Grant lodged a complaint claiming she had never been informed and businessman Mr Dhunna did not have planning permission to cut the roof and build over it. A small store room connects her property to Mr Dhunna's next door and the pair disagree about where the boundary lies. However, when Ms Grant got a land surveyor out to investigate, a report suggested Mr Dhunna's new wall hangs over the boundary line by 0.4metres - around 15 inches. She claims her neighbour had no right to cut the plastic roof and argued the new wall clearly hangs over onto her land. Ms Grant said: 'I sit in the house and I cry all day because I can't believe that someone's cut my roof. 'It's traumatising to point that I just want to kill myself, [...] even my son wanted to kill himself because of the amount of emotional stress, panic attacks, and he's lost out on five years of his life.' In October 2021, months after the work took place, Mr Dhunna - who does not live in the property but houses tenants there - received retrospective planning permission for the build by Hillingdon Council. 'It was given to him even though I tried to tell the council that he's on my land,' Ms Grant said. The red line shows the boundary between the two properties. The green line suggests Mr Dhunna's new roof line is hanging over onto Ms Grant's land 'When they cut the roof, because they didn't put any gutter in or any lead flashing, when it rains the water comes down into the property, so it's destroyed the conservatory. 'The floor is sunk and the walls have subsided inside. So the builder said it's £60,000 for that.' Ms Grant claims she has hired three land surveyors who have all stated encroachment onto her land. The court case is set to continue next week at Central London County Court. Ms Grant worked in customer service for British Airways but was let go as a result of poor mental health. She has now set up a GoFundMe in a desperate bid to raise the money for her legal costs.

Rachel Reeves faces crisis as cabinet conflicts threaten to block spending plans
Chancellor Rachel Reeves faces a crisis as cabinet conflicts threaten to block her spending plans, with disagreements over proposed cuts to housing and police force budgets. Yvette Cooper and Angela Rayner are pushing back against budget cuts, leading to a stalemate with the Treasury just 48 hours before Reeves is due to unveil the spending review. Cabinet minister Peter Kyle refused to rule out real-terms spending cuts to the police force and housing budget, while the Ministry of Housing is reportedly resisting such cuts. The social housing sector is warning of a potential crisis if funding cuts proceed, with concerns about a "cliff edge" in building more homes and councils already running deficits on housing budgets. Senior police chiefs have cautioned that Keir Starmer's pledge to cut crime will be unattainable without significant investment, citing new online threats and pressures from prison overcrowding.

Michail Antonio releases footage of painstaking recovery journey after surviving horror car crash that left him with a broken leg
Michail Antonio has released footage of his painstaking journey to return to full fitness after surviving a horror car crash that left him with a broken leg. The Hammers front man has not featured since the December accident that required him to be cut from the wreckage of his £260,000 grey Ferrari by fire crews in Essex and airlifted to hospital. After colliding with a tree on his way home from training in Epping Forest, the striker was trapped for more than 45 minutes and feared for his life. Antonio underwent surgery for a broken leg the following day, but has worked hard on a miraculous recovery which has seen him return to training just four months on from the accident. On Sunday, the 35-year-old took to Instagram to share a clip of his journey, titling the video with the caption 'Faith will overcome all challenges'. The Jamaica international showed clips of himself regaining his strength on his leg that was broken in the accident. The touching montage of his rehab concluded with his return to first team training, as well as the heartwarming scenes at the London Stadium when he was introduced to the West Ham fans in March. Antonio is out of contract this summer but West Ham are understood to have offered him a short-term deal while he regains his fitness but it remains to be seen whether he will stay beyond the summer or look for a move elsewhere. Last month, a senior Hammers source told Mail Sport: 'He's looking at what offers he gets.' In a May interview with French outlet L'Equipe, Antonio said: ''The question is whether the club wants to extend my contract. That's my priority, but I'm waiting. Until then, all I can do is focus on my recovery so that, wherever I am next year, I can deliver.' Antonio also stated that he had ambitions of extending his Premier League goal tally, which currently sits at 68. 'I'd like to push the record forward so that Jarrod Bowen doesn't catch me,' Antonio said of his Hammers team-mate, who is currently on 54 goals. Antonio also shed light on the support that West Ham gave him in the aftermath of the crash, revealing that the Premier League side had paid for a private room at a hotel for him to continue his convalescence with medial support and privacy. 'West Ham were incredible for me from the very beginning, and even today, they are there for me every day,' Antonio added. But while a potential move away from the club remains in play with his deal drawing to a close, recovery continues to prove a challenging prospect. 'The sessions are very tough,' the forward continued. 'After each one, my leg is dead for a few hours! 'I do a lot of strength and power work to get my body back to normal. I'm still struggling because my brain is constantly telling my leg, "You can't do it."' But, he added: 'It's getting better every day, every week.' In April, West Ham's record Premier League goal-scorer revisited the car's remains at a scrapyard, which put the horror incident into perspective. 'It gave me a weird feeling in my stomach,' Antonio told BBC One programme Morning Live. 'It just made me realise how close I was to dying. I had seen the pictures, but it was 10 times worse in person. The car was an absolute mess. It was difficult for me. 'All I know is that I hit a tree - I don't know how I hit a tree - and that the police came and when they found me in the car, I was in between the two seats. 'From the crash, I've been more of an emotional man. I was avoiding going back because I was slightly embarrassed by the crash and the accident. Obviously I've almost died in the car crash.'
