Businessman's home improvements like 'adding a bass track to Mozart'

A businessman has been fined £40,000 and ordered to spend £450,000 demolishing extensions to his Georgian home.

The Daily Telegraph reported that Andrew Hazell, 46, turned his Grade II 18th century home into a Footballers' Wives style property.

Judge David Wynn Morgan ordered him to undo the work, and described Hazell's treatment of the home as akin to "painting a moustache on an Old Master" or "adding a bass track to Mozart".

It has already cost Hazell £750,000 to convert the £2m home in Monmouthshire.
