Pensioner faces £20,000 fine after losing 18-month battle with council after installing 'wrong type' of white front door | Mail Online

A six-inch pane of glass left pensioner Peter Broderick facing an 18-month legal battle and the threat of a £20,000 fine.

The retired printer says he feared becoming a target for burglars after the white front door of his 16th-century cottage became rotten and flimsy.

But the £600 white replacement door he chose for the Grade II listed building was ruled to be out of keeping because it contained the glass panel.
