I do feel for the guy. He’s built a beautiful home in a lovely spot for his family for the fraction of the cost of a box on an estate. But there in lies the issue. Why do we tolerate him and not everyone else who wants a better life?
Agreed.
I am a little split though. I can’t really admire him, all he has done is ignore the rules to suit his own needs. We could all do that but I’m sure the regulars on here would be quick to lambast anyone who had a ‘don what you want’ mentality.
Personally I feel that it’s right for them to pull it down because you can’t pick and choose which rules and regs you wish to follow and quite simply it’s not fair on anyone else who does it by the book, but I agree entirely with the sentiment echoed by somafunk, you can’t do a bloody thing anymore, we’re all stifled, boxed in, compartmentalised and the notion that you can do your own thing, independently has all but gone.
