Neighbours of Captain Tom Moore’s family say ‘tear it down now’ as spa to be demolished

Neighbours of Sir Captain Tom Moore’s family have backed an order to demolish a “dreadful-looking” luxury spa complex as they demanded to ‘tear it down now’.

Hannah Ingram-Moore and her husband had battled to overturn a council decision to demolish the building built on land at their Bedfordshire home which had been built “unauthorised”. But the Planning Inspectorate said on Tuesday they have three months to bulldoze the building after it was built illegally at their £1.2million mansion.

Originally meant as a hub for the Captain Tom Foundation which launched upon the veteran fundraiser’s death earlier that year, Mrs Ingram-Moore later submitted retrospective planning permission after it was built with a pool, spa and changing facilities. But when this was rejected earlier this year, the family was served with a demolition order which they appealed and today lost.

Inspector Diane Fleming said the “scale and massing” of the building had “resulted in harm” to The Old Rectory – the Grade II listed family home in Marston Moretaine, reports The Mirror. Jill Bozdogan, 70, whose home is overlooked by the spa, said: “The sooner they tear it down the better. It doesn’t blend in with the two original buildings. For me it was something you can see from all my back windows – upstairs and downstairs.

“Every time I go into the garden it makes me so cross. It does nothing for the surroundings here. My mum is 99 and lives with me. She liked to go and sit in the garden, but she rarely does now because of that building.” Another Jean Harrison, 80, said: “It looks dreadful from here. It’s made of breezeblock. It is good that it has to come down.”

As well as tearing the spa down, the family will need to remove all building materials and restore the land to its “former condition”. The family now has six weeks to appeal the decision. Sir Tom raised £38.9 million for the NHS, including Gift Aid, by walking 100 laps of his garden before his 100th birthday at the height of the first national Covid-19 lockdown in April 2020. He died in February 2021.
