'illegal' mock-Tudor castle he tried to hide behind 40ft hay bales

If I could make sense of your post, I would post some kind of response, but I can't, so I won't.it was a bad decision. the removal of the hay bails was deemed to be construction so time never started (i.,e the 4 year rule). Course it was not construction. The court is not indepedent! Precedent is a risk but they can't create law. He got away with it, full stop, but oh no.....and to now remove a house at a time when Plymouth and Swindon planners need a slap for what they have allowed legitimately...and with hosues so few, and rip off milk the public with more tax SDLT
I will only say that he hasn't got away with it - whatever gives you that idea?! The hay bales (not bails) were clearly part of the development, otherwise why would there be any need to remove them afterwards?? Like the planning inspector said, if the hay bales were to remain, why bother having any windows in the house...?0 -

It was sarcasm, my view is that he got away with the law, but the court bent the rules to stop him.
hay bales = 'construction'....where was the big bad wolf when we needed his view on that assertion!
(are you really a planning officer...as from some of your posts I am not convinced)My posts are just my opinions and are not offered as legal advice - though I consider them darn fine opinions none the less.:cool2:
My bad spelling...well I rush type these opinions on my own time, so sorry, but they are free.:o0 -
this situation is a bit like the house price crash,
everything points towards it happening but it never seems to happen.

Whilst I kinda see your point, their forum name isn't "solicitor" whereas "planning_officer" 's well, kinda IS planning officer
If this post wasn't up to your standards, please lower your standards...0 -

Sure, not his forum name, but... from this thread here:G_M I am right about everything, I am a solicitor in this area.
