A couple face homelessness after they failed in a High Court fight to keep their home.
Richard and Paula Brown of Runwell - who made a home for themselves out of two mobile homes bolted together into an L-shape - had asked a top judge to quash a Government planning inspector's decision to back a council order requiring them to remove their home.
However, the couple now face being left homeless after the judge, sitting in London, backed the inspector's decision.
They must now remove their home, called Paradise Lost in Meadow Lane, in order to comply with the council enforcement notice or risk prosecution.
The structure - which had been home to the couple since 1998 - was made of two mobile homes, brought onto the land separately and then bolted together.
