Dispute Between Neighbours - this is a true story...

A town councillor in Wales, Mark Easton, had a beautiful view of the mountains, until a new neighbour purchased the land below his house and built a new home.

The new home was 18 inches higher than the planning dept had approved, so Mark Easton, mad about his lost view, went to the local authority to make sure they enforced the roof line height.
The new neighbour had to drop the roof height, at great expense.

Recently, Mark Easton called the planning dept, and informed them that his new neighbour had installed some vents on the side of his new property.

Mark didn’t like the look of these vents and asked the planning dept to investigate.

When they went to Mark’s home to see what the vents looked like, this is what they found…

I've seen that story claimed as being from New Zealand to Canada over the last two years..

I'm going to need to a see an unphotoshopped GPS in the picture before I'll accept its claimed location.
