Homeowners to sue builder over 30ft cliff in garden

The brochure described it as a gently-sloping back garden.

Gently sloping

But when Alan and Jackie Carter prepared to move into their newly-completed four-bedroom house, they were horrified to discover what could only be described as a cliff towering above it.

Now the builder has been fined £6,000.
