:03:18. > :03:22.defended the building after it was described as a cowshed. He is
:03:22. > :03:29.building a five bedroom house to sell in Cowley. But the bold look
:03:29. > :03:34.has upset some locals and they have said it sets a bad precedent. At
:03:34. > :03:40.first glance, the house does look bold and unusual. It has upset
:03:40. > :03:43.locals and they went to the papers describing it as a cowshed. That
:03:43. > :03:49.upset the build-up. He said he understands the concerns but give
:03:49. > :03:59.him a chance to finish it first. The entire building will be clad in

:04:14. > :04:18.elements. Metal, stone and wood. We are aiming to make them combine
:04:18. > :04:23.harmoniously. That has caused problems but he said the covering
:04:23. > :04:27.has not come off and it will not look as bright as it does now. Has
:04:28. > :04:32.he appeased his opponents? Many are more angry with the Council for
:04:32. > :04:36.giving him planning permission. This man is happy trees will block
:04:36. > :04:42.the house from his view but he is worried for the teacher. What is
:04:42. > :04:49.wrong with it? Look at it! It is completely out of keeping with a
:04:49. > :04:55.traditional Cotswolds village. This is not being a Not In My Back Yard
:04:55. > :05:01.sort of thing. We are talking about a precedent being set. That sort of
