Owner of famous house with 25ft shark sticking out of the roof booted off Airbnb

The owner of a world-famous house with a 25ft shark sticking out of the roof has been banned from renting it out on Airbnb. The quirky property - widely known as the Headington Shark House - has been available as a short-term let on the booking site for the last five years - going for as much as £1k a night during peak times. But its owner Magnus Hanson-Heine, who inherited it from his father and its creator Bill Heine, has now been ordered to remove it - as he doesn't have the right planning permission. Bill installed the shark statue on top of his property in secret without official permission in 1986 - beginning a six-year planning row with Oxford City Council. Oxford City Council refused retrospective planning permission two years later before the then Secretary of State for the Environment, Michael Heseltine, intervened to allow it to stay.
