A farmer's fight to stop the demolition of a mock Tudor castle he built without planning permission is being considered by a planning inspector.
Robert Fidler built the castle at Honeycrock Farm in Salfords, Surrey, in 2002 and hid it behind a haystack
Some background
And here it is.........what do you think ?
Englishman's home is his Castle....or not.

I think the guy's a pillock.
A pillock to build it without planning permission in the first place and a pillock to spend enormous amounts of money fighting the decision ever since 2008 - after he lost his appeal in 2010 he's been throwing good money after bad. IMHO anyway.

I got the same impression, but I would have used a stronger word than pillock.

Shame, too. From what little I saw of it, it seems like a decent looking building.

I'm too good at misunderstanding what's meant to not stop dead in my tracks at have to puzzle it out slowly.
