Bollywood actor Sumeet Singh Sarao faces garden bulldozing after 6-year UK row

Bollywood actor and commercial singer Sumeet Singh Sarao is facing the prospect of having a large section of the garden at his £900,000 home in Telford, Shropshire, dug up or potentially bulldozed after a six-year planning dispute with the local council. Sarao, 39, has been locked in a battle with Telford and Wrekin Council since he raised part of his garden by around 1.4 metres during landscaping work in 2020, with the council arguing that the changes have caused an unacceptable loss of privacy for neighbouring residents.The actor, who has lived at the property with his parents for 14 years, says he spent between £8,000 and £9,000 on the garden and only raised the lower section to bring it level with the existing higher part of the plot.
