A young couple have been left heartbroken after planners ordered their unique 'hobbit home' to be bulldozed, effectively leaving them homeless. Charlie Hague and Megan Williams, both 25, built the roundhouse from scratch with their own hands, using only natural materials. But the couple lost their appeal today against a planning enforcement notice telling them to tear their pride and joy home down. Charlie and Megan, who have a one-year-old son Eli, built the house on private land in Glandwr, North Pembrokeshire, last summer. Locals nicknamed it the hobbit home, although most people did not even know it was there because it is so secluded. But Pembrokeshire County Council ordered the couple to demolish their home because it was built without planning permission.
