(from the Cambridge Evening News)
TWO notorious builders whose antics led to a street being evacuated have been given the go ahead to carry on building a house despite protests from neighbours.
The Malik brothers, Colin and Terry, have paid thousands of pounds in a series of fines relating to a hole they dug on the site at Ross Street, Romsey, in 2001 which left neighbouring properties on the brink of collapse.
Council workmen had to evacuate the street and initiate emergency safety work after discovering that only six bricks were supporting a house next to the site.
At the city council's East Area Committee the brothers were given permission to build a house on the site but planning chiefs noted they had already started building without permission.
Neighbours urged the council not to allow them permission accusing the brothers of making their lives a misery by regularly blocking the street with vehicles and ignoring building regulations. But committee members said that a builder's reputation was not grounds to refuse an application.
Ross Street resident Dr Rosemary Clark said: "They have stretched building regulations. It is not just that for two years they have made the pavement outside the property dangerous for wheelchairs and parents with pushchairs or that he has repeatedly and illegally closed the street with cars blocking the road.
"What has alarmed those who live nearby is that he has been building without planning permission and flouting regulations.
"He has unashamedly strung the planning department along."
She added that residents feared the values of their properties would plunge if the building was allowed to go ahead.
Colin Malik said: "There is no work going on at that house for which we do not have planning permission. I decided to build the house for my wife who died of cancer and it will now be a family house for me and my two children."
Peter Carter, principal planning officer at the city council, said: "Mr Malik is not completely correct in saying that no work has taken place without planning permission.
"This is a site that has been monitored and we are aware of what is going on. We will have to continue monitoring to ensure that what is being built is what we have given planning permission for."

Jesus, would you and your brother fuck off?
Kollin, you say your wife is dead, you've said it TO THE FREAKIN' PAPERS and literally then mention her existence about 2 weeks ago. You're ill. Nothing anyone has said has been groundless.
Oh and tell your brother not to eye ball me halfway down mill road while hanging around street corners.
Kollin and Terry get a bad rep. Here is a site which exposes the REAL truth about the Malik brothers:
