if it's ever sold it all has to be demolished
i thought councils could fine/order demoliton/come in rip shit down? seems a weak intervention from them

Yeah, this is very weak... typically it would be a demolition order and the threat of a £20k fine (if the notice is ignored).
You can then submit retroactive planning within 30 days of the notice, but that would be unlikely to go through, then you'd appeal, same story, then you'd agree to 'make it good' by reverting and they'd possibly forget the fine.
If you didn't revert to a good standard the threat of the fine would come back, or be enforced with a potential demolition order to boot.

Just checked, they had planning permission denyed 3 times so far!
Look at this swathe of forest they removed, there is an area twice as big the other side.
you can see the end of the house on the right, thats where they're land stops so they've taken a 1.5 meter wide chunk out and eclosed it and then trashed about about 40sq meters of woods. You can also see all the building waste
@hoefla I thought that was only if no one complained / the council noticed?
I dont really care about their ugly rear extension tbh, its the stolen public land that erks me

Juicy bit of local gossip
Our neighbours, built a big rear extension, a side extension, paved over a piece of land in front and to the side of their house to make a private drive and painted their house that awful grey (which matches their car).
They've done it all without planning permission; the council has so far rejected all their plans and put a notice on the house that if it's ever sold it all has to be demolished.
Also, they stole the land for the drive and side extension AND fly tipped all the rubbish in the forest!
