'Too red' house faces demolition

A family in Oxfordshire is facing the possibility of their newly-built home being demolished.

One of the reasons, said Cherwell District Council, was that the colour of the bricks used was "too red" and should have been "more orange".



This would allow the home to blend in with others in Merton Road, Banbury which is a special conservation area.

"We felt that the property is not sympathetic to the conservation area," a council spokesman said.
