The influencer spent two years building a dream pergola, and then drama ensued:

An influencer named Annabelle Rogers, based in Nottingham, England, built a dream pergola in her backyard during the pandemic. Over two years, she filled it with comfortable furniture, an outdoor fireplace, a swing, and a small pool, using it as a private retreat. However, the local council ordered her to remove the pergola after a neighbor complained about the permanent structure, citing that the area was protected. In an attempt to comply, Annabelle and her husband installed wheels to make the pergola 'non-permanent.' Despite this, another complaint led to the council requiring them to remove it. Annabelle expressed disappointment on Instagram, noting they planned to create a new outdoor space but not like the pergola. Her husband, David, responded on social media calling the situation absurd and vowed to rebuild. Commenters had mixed reactions, some supporting the council’s decision and others criticizing it as unreasonable.
