Council orders homeowner to repaint her pretty 17th century listed cottage ... because it's TOO PINK

Ann Kennedy is upset after officers knocked on her door to say she should have applied for planning permission to paint her Grade II listed thatched cottage in the idyllic Devon countryside (right). Mrs Kennedy and her husband Mark say the cottage is exactly the same colour as it was when they bought it (bottom left). However, the couple claim that Teignbridge District Council in Devon have threatened legal action after a complaint from just ONE member of the public about the colour of Lantern Cottage.
