Temp Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 Think this may have come up before but can't find old thread.. https://uk.news.yahoo.com/planning-bosses-order-mansions-demolished-dispute-100526374.html "Owners had appealed against an order to demolish the houses but their claims were rejected and a planning inspector has now given them 12 months to demolish the structures and return the site to its previous state." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faz Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 They look like they took the piss - can hardly complain tbh. Size and positioning - what did they expect. Muppets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Temp Posted May 21, 2021 Author Share Posted May 21, 2021 +1 They certainly look very out of place. Problem is the developer managed to sell the houses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe90 Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 Whilst I have had problems with planners myself you still can’t break the rules, so yes, they should be demolished as an example. Muppets! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as they are not complete presumably they are still owned by the developer? If they’ve exchanged contacts but not completed the new owners could sue the developer too.

Temp Posted May 22, 2021 Author Share Posted May 22, 2021 https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/15014020/luxury-mansions-devastated-homeowners/ Says one owner paid £1,057,000 for his plot in 2016. "He told the inquiry he had launched litigation against the developer but "they had disappeared" and refused to take responsibility for "what they have done"."

Temp Posted May 22, 2021 Author Share Posted May 22, 2021 Looks like the developer may have sold them some sort of land, design and build deal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteamyTea Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 Anyone want to buy a time-share apartment, off plans, in Spain. This sort of thing is not new. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Punter Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 I assume the developer ltd co will go skint but I wonder where the house owners will stand? I would think the directors may face some personal liability. Did the architect have any say? Very odd that this was such a mammoth blunder. The conveyancing solicitor will normally want to see that all planning conditions and building regulations have been complied with before completion of the purchase.
