A couple who spent £2,500 on a porch extension to protect their home from burglars have been told it will be demolished - because it's “harmful” to the character of the area. <br /><br />George, 74, and Patricia Owen, 76, have been left incredibly “upset” by the decision to tear down the porch which will be carried out by council officials on Tuesday (June 19). <br /><br />They felt like “prisoners in their own home” after being burgled in September last year and decided to build the porch because it offered better security and protection.
