SOUTH WALES POLICEThe controversial property in Penisarwaun, Gwynedd, was built without planning permission and has become a source of significant local tension.
Neighbours have since branded the development an “eyesore” and claim that the property's large gable end window allows them to see everything happening inside.

The council specifically cited concerns about the property's impact on neighbouring residents.
