George R.R. Martin plans to build a castle in his backyard

The Daily Mail reported that George R.R. Martin has submitted plans for his castle. The entire structure is like a castle and it includes imposing stone walls, battlements and a 27ft tower. The writer has already lodged a planning application to the city of Santa Fe. But the residents of that area are not happy about it. One of the residents of that neighbourhood spoke to The Daily Mail about the same. He said that they thought it was Winterfell when they first saw the plans. He added that all it's missing is Jon Snow and a couple of dragons. This is understood because of its resemblance to the structures created in Game Of Thrones. George R.R. Martin describes his castle as a 'seven-sided library'.

Currently, the neighbours are taking an objection about the same. They say that this castle would be totally out of place in a suburban neighbourhood where it might spoil the looks of the area. He also added that George has done a lot for the arts and he's very welcome there. George R.R. Martin also addressed this problem and got his architects to make some changes to the plan and revise some drawings.  But there is a code in Santa Fe and the buildings have a right to retain a certain historic look. Apart from the neighbours, the castle’s structures have also been a problem. According to the plans submitted, there is a turret in the castle which is several feet higher than zoning codes allow. Because of this, George cannot start building this project without special permission from the city's Historic Design Review Board.
