The couple, which transforms the old railway transport exhibited on Channel 4, won a two -year fight 175 £ 175 night holiday
A couple who turned an old railway car on a plush vacation allowed them to win a ‘monumental’ two -year war for planning approval.
53 -year -old Andrea Pearman and 65 -year -old Richard Coleman took part in 2022 to exhibit the transformation of a large Western railway coach into a rural night of 175 £ in 2022 in the magnificent areas of George Clarke.
The couple had purchased the car for £ 3,000 through a friend and spent months to renew the coach into two rooms – Penzance Suite for four and two sleeping Paddington – without planning permission.
Finally, Little Downham, Hambridgeshire, holiday area was opened in 2022.
Taşı The transport was only out of the track in 2021 and was really good, Pear Pearman said.
“ We had to redesign the bathroom, including the movement of waste pipes, and this is quite ordeal because the train floors did not need to be drilled.
It looks really simple as if he had tears the “ seats and luggage shelves, but we took it to the bare bones.
“ We match the entire paint color, I hope you can’t tell you what is new and what is original. Still a train. Nothing was thrown.

The couple purchased £ 3,000 to transport Great Western Railway through a friend less than a year after being removed from the tracks.
After the coach was purchased by the couple, Great Marston was moved by Lorry from Yorkshire.
‘We donated to the local heritage line of all Gubbins to bring another car back to life.’
After completing, a remarkable carrying -based Lett includes a hot tub, air conditioning, bathroom and shower and its own special garden area in the countryside.
The couple made sure that the car restored some of the original features such as seats, windows, baggage shelves and even the emergency stopping arm.
However, creation had to overcome obstacles, including the East Cambridgeshire Regional Council, including more than two years of planning dispute.
The planning team rejected the first retrospective proposal, arguing that the renewal in 2022 was ‘positioned inexplicable’.
However, last month, Ms. Pearman and Mr. Coleman finally received approval from the swinging council after noticing the popularity of Let.
“It looks really simple as if he had tears the seats and luggage shelves, but we put it on the bare bones,” Pearman said
Improvements lasted months, but in the end, the retired couple opened the Cambridgeshire holiday area in 2022
The couple was able to open a plush holiday in 2022, although they did not receive planning approval.

The transport of the train car along the winding country lanes cost the couple’s cost of £ 10,000 and the renewal of both ends cost £ 25,000
“Winning the planning application was quite monumental,” Pearman added.
“ They initially returned because they said there was no need and they did not support development in rural areas.
But in the meantime, we were open and accepted the guests – we can prove that there is a demand.
“ I did not think that we needed planning permits because it is a moving, non -permanent structure. Our main offer is quiet, rural and peaceful. People come here to relax. ‘
Since a unique renovation was opened in 2022, the guests became ‘crazy’ one night in a static car with guests.
The couple welcomed even a former Great Western Railway employee who visited three times.
After a war with the local planning committee for more than two years, the retired couple finally received planning approval in March of this year

Pearman, “ This was working as a protection on the car, ” he said.
“ There were too many train drivers that their wives reserved as a surprise – they visit and fly.
“ I did not realize how many people love the trains so much. Our guests do not want to leave. ‘
Pearman and Mr. Coleman first planned to allow a boat to allow a boat to their pools, but they discovered that they could not maintain their water levels.
Thus, Great Marston decided to transform the train car that they moved by by the truck from Yorkshire.
