## Key points

- A judge ordered Justin Salmon to demolish his garden room.
- The room developed from a permitted pergola into an entertainment area.
- The neighbour dispute is expected to cost more than £100,000 in legal fees.

## Summary

Justin Salmon, president of non-league Sutton Common Rovers FC, has been ordered to demolish a garden room he built at his home in Coulsdon after a court ruled it breached his lease. The dispute with neighbour Andrianna Neophytou matters because it followed an earlier tribunal decision and is expected to generate legal bills of more than £100,000.

Salmon first received permission to build a pergola in 2017, then added a shed and gradually developed the structures into a furnished, roofed entertainment room. A judge rejected his argument that the altered room counted as a pergola, but allowed him to keep the adjacent shed; Neophytou was also ordered to remove a porch she had built alongside the house.
