A 78-year-old property developer has launched an appeal after a council three times rejected his plans for a bungalow to care for his wife, who has dementia and Parkinson's disease.David Marks wants to build the single-storey home in Smarden, Kent, with an attached care suite for his wife Yvonne who has spent almost three years in a care home - due to her condition and intensive nursing needs.Mr Marks, who lives in Wateringbury, says he hopes to move into the new property and bring his wife home if the plans are approved, but he fears time is running out, describing his wife's condition as "end of life".Ashford Borough Council has rejected his proposals on three separate occasions, with the latest application refused in June - to which Mr Marks has now appealed to the Planning Inspectorate.
