A plastic surgeon to the stars whose clients include Hollywood A-listers and fashion royalty has been ordered to demolish a luxury rooftop structure on his £6.7million Chelsea townhouse. Harley Street cosmetic surgeon Yannis Alexandrides - whose cult skincare brand 111Skin is a celebrity favourite - installed a sleek metal pergola on the roof terrace of his family's three-storey townhouse in one of London's most prestigious neighbourhoods. But the pergola ruffled the feathers of council officials who said it had been erected without planning permission and blighted the character of the area. Kensington and Chelsea Council argued the modern canopy - which adjoins the family's previously approved rooftop conservatory - was out of keeping with the elegant redbrick terraces of exclusive SW3. Dr Yannis, whose 111 Harley Street clinic is world-famous, proposed remodelling the pergola to satisfy council planners but the inspector ruled that only full removal would remedy the breach.
