I'd presume he's tried getting retrospective permission, which is an option if you've built something without permission, and been denied it. So if he had originally asked, he would have got a no.
However, I agree. Knocking them down - which will now almost certainly happen - is a massive waste of resources and environmentally dreadful. It would be much better if they could work something out but knocking down properties in this scenario is as much a deterrent to others as anything else.
