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

You quietly sell it to your uncle's company in Panama and he moves in as the tenant. The council fail to notice for another 4 years - resulting public enquiry gets dismissed as out of time ?0

It would seem there is a facebook page:

So we can keep updated."One day I realised that when you are lying in your grave, it's no good saying, "I was too shy, too frightened."
Because by then you've blown your chances. That's it."0 -
I want to find out more information about the changes to planning laws.
Any experts on here? Can you now buy some greenbelt and get planning for a house easier?0 -
We will see the effect of these relaxing of planning laws.
It seems easier to make an extention, or indeed to get plans through for a new property.
I was chatting to a planning consultant about getting a new house on some farm land, he said in the past no way, but with these changes you will get it. It may be turned down to start with, but if you appeal and change whatever they turned it down for, you wil get it in the end.0 -

they will turn it down because its on the green belt...
so he's right, if you change that you will get it through!
but he’s an idiot because your house will be 5 miles away on someone else’s brown field site!
FYI, developers don’t normally build on greenbelt land, they lobby the council to get land removed from the greenbelt, and then build on the resulting former greenbelt.
that might seem like semantics, but in terms of planning its VERY important0 -

That is the entire point of these changes, did you not see it has been announced that there will be a relaxing of planning restrictions on green belt?0 -
I am sure there must be lots of people with detatched houses measuring 26 feet from their rear wall (and realising that is enough for a one bedroom "grannie flat").
I must look up a former neighbour who had a detached house that was in the layout of a typical Victorian terrace: two up, two down with a 2/3rds two story rear "extension" with kitchen downstairs and probably over sized bathroom upstairs. The council did not like it but could not stop her putting a single story kitchen extension into the "side return" but they then got all clever about extending the kitchen into a kitchen diner, with a 4 meter rear extension on the new kitchen. ("45 degree rule ..........blah blah blah").
I wonder if she still has enough money/mortgage to do it when the new permitted development rule comes in?0 -
