New pictures show the unaithorised spa built by the family of Captain Sir Tom Moore being torn to pieces by builders. Work demolishing the £200,000 building first began last Wednesday after Hannah Ingram Moore – daughter of the World War Two veteran – and her husband were ordered to tear down the complex after it was found to have been built without permission.
Earlier in January the property in Marston Moretaine, Bedfordshire, was cleared of Captain Tom’s heirlooms, before scaffolders and building trucks moved in lastweek.
Workmen removed boxes and artwork after a deadline issued back in November for any appeals to be made elapsed.
Planning officials ordered the spa to be demolished after it was built in a design which did not have planning permission at the £1.2m mansion.
Planning permission had been granted for an L-shaped building in the grounds of the family home, but the planning authority refused a subsequent retrospective application in 2022 for a larger C-shaped building containing a spa pool.
