Lisa and Craig Charters' three-storey 'Grand Designs' villa has caused an issue with locals
A family of lottery winners had cause for further celebration after councillors gave them the green light to build a £5million mega mansion. Lisa Charters, 33, and her husband Craig, 34, now have the go-ahead for their luxury villa, which will have uninterrupted views of Edinburgh Castle.
Despite 63 letters of objection, a City of Edinburgh Council committee yesterday granted the Charters planning permission after councillors paid a visit to the site in the south of the capital. Hal Osler, chair of the Development Management sub committee, added: ”This has been a really interesting application. It was quite complicated when it came to us. A lot of work has been done in changing the respective orientation of the building to take on board various comments.
"I do admire the applicants for bringing this forward as it is extremely challenging. I hope they manage to build it and have a wonderful time living there. I, for one, will be supporting it.”
