Fair play to them all!! They worked hard and built a stunning house without being noticed. He has found a loop hole in the planning regs and used it to his full advantage. Anyone who thinks they don’t deserve to keep it is probably just jealous that they didn’t think of the idea first, I know I am!!! Good luck to them.

Toronto Condos have shown the way luxury is provided at such low rates and now they are also showing the way about how the real estate market can go environment friendly.

If I’ve read this correctly, he’s paid out £50k to build a property which, if above board, might be worth 10 or 20 times (?) what he’d paid.

Whether or not he gets away with it is in the hands of the Courts.

But why should he get away with it? Plenty of those of us with more modest finances get planning permission turned down all the time.

It’ll be very interesting to see how this plays out, but we could be in for a long battle.

wow terry…

I think that planners have a definit role to play. I mean since people plan vacations and events so that they don’t become a giant disaster shouldn’t we plan our cities at least a little bit?

I think the difference between our positions Jack, comes from maybe the way that we view it. Its my opinion that Mr Fiddler did not break the law when he built his house. The planning regulations stated if the house/structure had been built for four years with no objections then it is approved. The law didn’t specify that it had to be in plain site. He found the loop hole in the law and built his house, if you find a loop hole you find a loop hole.

You can bet that the council changed the law to insure that ‘in plain sight’ is in there, or maybe they removed the option to build with no objections entirely but the Fiddlers didn’t break the letter of the law.
