Captain Sir Tom Moore’s daughter and her family attended an appeal hearing against the demolition of a spa pool block at her home in Bedfordshire on Tuesday, 17 October.

In 2021, Hannah Ingram-Moore and her husband Colin applied for permission to build a Captain Tom Foundation Building in the grounds of their property in Marston Moretaine.

An L-shaped building was approved but a subsequent retrospective application in 2022 for a larger C-shaped building containing a spa pool was refused.

Chartered surveyor James Paynter, for the appellants, said: “The spa pool has the opportunity to offer rehabilitation sessions for elderly people in the area.”
