Miranda Dickson, from Edinburgh, says she was ordered to remove her front door by the council.
Miranda Dickson was ordered by Edinburgh City Council to change the colour of her front door in Edinburgh's New Town - a World Heritage conservation area - to an off-white shade by April as it doesn't fall in line with the guidelines, reports the Daily Express.
She appealed to the Scottish Government but they agreed with the council and the decision was upheld. Ms Dickson could now see herself be fined £2000 if she doesn't remove the 'unauthorised' paint, and a potential £20k payment if she is charged with breaking rules in the conservation area. Top news stories today Steve Field, a government reporter, said the door colour should be changed. He said: "The guidance advises that 'doors should be painted an appropriate dark and muted colour'. It is evident from my site inspection that the pink paint is neither dark nor muted."
"I accept that neither document advocates the use of white paint on front doors. However, I consider white to be a neutral colour and one used on front doors by a number of property owners in Drummond Place without causing an unacceptable impact on the character of the building.
