FOI 1742 - Walnut Tree Farm

A neighbour of ours has decided to put a Juliet balcony in a listed building without planning permission, it has obviously been rejected, he claims the reason for this building work was for a fire escape ( which he already has fire escape windows) 

He claims he had a house fire 8 yrs ago involving two fire engines and took 5 hours to extinguish the fire ,  but there has never been a fire .

Could you please confirm that there was or was not a fire in this property, 

The property is : walnut tree farm, Primrose lane , Alvanley  WA6 9BW
