A High Court battle over the former home of Sherlock Holmes creator Sir Arthur Conan Doyle has begun.

Campaigners are opposing plans to part-demolish Undershaw in Hindhead, Surrey, and turn it into housing.

The Undershaw Preservation Trust wants Waverley council's planning permission for the development to be overturned.

Campaign lawyers said there were more than 1,300 objections to the development. The council said it was confident its decision was correct.

Grade II listed Undershaw, built in 1897, was where Conan Doyle wrote the Hound of the Baskervilles and The Return of Sherlock Holmes.

The author designed and lived in the property with his wife and entertained many writers there, including JM Barrie, creator of Peter Pan, and Bram Stoker, creator of Dracula.

John Gibson, founder of the Undershaw Preservation Trust, said campaigners wanted the building to be restored and had "many dreams" for the property, including that it could become a museum or literary centre.

Andrew Lockley, head of public law at Irwin Mitchell, solicitors for the campaigners, said the council had ignored public opinion and made basic errors.

He said: "It has agreed to a plan which involves the partial demolition, alteration, conversion and extension of the building instead of a considered restoration."

Legal fight over Conan Doyle home

When Dennis and Nanette Burke lost their home at the corner of Collins and St. John in Biloxi to Hurricane Katrina, they thought their replacement house in Woolmarket would become their "forever" home.

Their first love -- their old Biloxi home -- was gone, but sometimes love comes a second time around.

There was a house on Seal Avenue that had been vacant since 2004; even then, the Burkes had seen something intriguing about it, but it wasn't available. It survived the storm, with damage but no water; the water stopped two houses down, Dennis said. Still, it wasn't for sale.

The Burkes settled into life away from their beloved downtown. Then the unexpected happened: The Seal Avenue house was available.

"We bought it Nov. 1, 2009, and in January 2010, we started on the demolition, the leveling and the exterior," Dennis said. "June 7, 2010, is the day John Miller showed up. He made all this happen. He would let us go full circle with an idea before he would tell us if it would work or not."

Miller, a contractor, guided the Burkes through the restoration of the ca. 1905 cottage-style shotgun house. They did the demolition themselves, with the help of family and friends.

"I don't know how many we filled," Nannette said, referring to portable trash bins. "You wouldn't believe all the mess involved."

About a year later, the restoration was complete, and the Burkes were living on Seal Avenue -- back home.

The Mississippi Heritage Trust recently acknowledged the diligence involved in bringing the house back, awarding the Burkes a Heritage Award for Merit for Restoration/Rehabilitation. The framed award now sits on the living room mantel.

The demolition work was interior.

Members of the Cabinet, appointed Monday by President Vladimir Putin, from top left: Shuvalov, Kozak, Surkov, Rogozin, Khloponin, Dvorkovich, Golodets, Abyzov, Belousov, Donskoi, Fyodorov, Govorun, Ishayev, Kolokoltsev, Konovalev, Lavrov, Livanov, Manturov, Medinsky, Mutko, Nikiforov, Novak, Puchkov, Serdyukov, Siluanov, Skvortsova, Sokolov and Topilin.

MOSCOW President Vladimir Putin on Monday appointed a Cabinet that has a strikingly familiar look.

Most ministers held on to their seats, received promotions from deputy ministers or came over from the Kremlin.

The shuffle cements Putins grip on power while fulfilling a promise by Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev that three-fourths of the faces would be new.

Igor Shuvalov will be the second-in-command in the Cabinet, retaining the rank of first deputy prime minister.

He will be the only first deputy prime minister: Putin named no replacement for the other person with this rank in the previous Cabinet, Viktor Zubkov.

In other organizational changes, the Health and Social Development Ministry will be split in two, the Sports Ministry lost its tourist portfolio, and a new ministry was created to develop the Far East.
