Fuming neighbours have blasted plans by a millionaire couple to build a mega-mansion on a Scots street.
Lisa and Craig Charters, 33, were hoping to use their family's £33 million lotto winnings to revamp their bungalow and turn the Edinburgh city pad into a mansion.
But the £5million renovation has received backlash from other residents as architect plans attracted nearly 50 formal objections to the planning application, according to The Sun.
As reported in the Mirror, Lisa's parents won the jackpot six years ago and she now wants to put some of the cash towards a Hollywood-esque home in the city.
Details published on the city council’s planning portal reveal there were 63 public comments submitted within 21 days.
Of those, 48 were objections and 15 comments of support.
Only 15 consultations were made.
The consultations appear to have been made to people who live in nearby properties.
The couple had paid £200,000 over the £670,000 asking price for the three-bedroom bungalow in the trendy city borough with views of Edinburgh Castle.
Their ultra modern plans would see the original single-storey building demolished and replaced with a three-storey mansion.
The large house is set to feature a zinc exterior, five glass-fronted bedrooms and a driveway rising from the garden.
The couple have even submitted an application to have the project featured on Grand Designs with Kevin McCloud.
Their planning agents said the building would make a “significant statement”.
A source told The Sun: “This is a pretty significant and ambitious development.
"Neighbours have been notified of the plans and they have a right to have their views.”
Details of why people object to the plans will not be revealed until after a decision has been made later this month.
Lisa, of Hawick, Roxburghshire, announced her engagement to Craig in 2017 on a beach in the Bahamas.
Her parents David and Carol Martin, both 60, were left in disbelief "drinking Tetley tea" as they tried to process the discovery of their £33 million win in 2016.
