Surrey :Judge tells Mr Fiddler to knock his House Down
http://news.images.itv.com/image/fil...stream_img.jpg
You are a Fool to take on the Council http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/image...236023_-12.jpg For around 4 years his home was hidden with Large Hay stacked up high. He is dead lucky the judge gave him a Suspended sentence That Illegal Home must be gone by June (Plenty of time) http://www.itv.com/news/2015-11-09/s...uld-face-jail/ http://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/660/cps...95116_de50.jpg As he left Court Shocked http://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/624/cps...kfarm2002a.jpg Built behind this back in year 2000 [Mr Justice Dove said that Mr Fidler would be jailed for three months for his "intentional defiance" unless he complied with the order by 6 June.] |
I love that house though,it would be sad for it to be demolished,surely something could be sorted.
|
What a gorgeous house.
|
I watched a programme featuring the guy, he hit the nail on the head, people like him aren't allowed castles.

I agree its a Great Design. But he built it on Greenfield Land without any proper permission The Judge backs the Council. If its not taken down by next June he goes to Jail He would be stupid not take it to bits plenty of time |
He didn't have planning permission. That's the bottom line. If he's allowed to keep this house that he built illegally it'd set a bad precedent for people to throw up all kinds of structures and try to get retrospective planning permission. He knew the risks when he broke the law.
|
Well, that will knock the smile off his face.
Why on earth do people have this feeling of entitlement..I want so I will have. Knock the bloody lot down and send him the bill. Apply for planning permission, the same as the rest of us would have to do, then again, he must have known it would not have been passed. No sympathy for him at all. |

It's tastefully done. The council should be knocking down ugly buildings and quite frankly I don't think it's none of their business.:nono: |
If he can build dwellings like that they should be signing him up for some planning role.
Forget the nonsense of red tape. Also as to threaten with a prison sentence when you cannot get some murderers locked up these days show what a mess the whole council red tape and the law is in anyway. |
So the big mound of hay was fine for 4 years? :laugh:

Bit hard with all the corruption though?... |
MAMMA MIA! This is WICKED. I hate to see ALADDIN this type of trouble. I mean, where will he live? He'll be like a GYPSY. What about his wife? His CATS?
It's not right at all. One minute he's living blissfully on SUNSET BOULEVARD, and the next the corrupt council pull on their KINKY BOOTS and want to STOMP his home into the ground. I would not go quietly if I were him, I would tie myself to the chimney as the bulldozers moved in. Hey! Then we'd have a FIDLER ON THE ROOF. :hehe: |

If the council and the Judge had allowed him to keep and live in his illegally built castle, the very same people would no doubt be screaming about how the system is corrupt in favour of the land-owning rich. If councils refuse planning permission to working class young couples who merely want to modestly extend their little homes, then NO ONE should be above the same laws which guide those council refusals. |
...he did wrong obviously and was intentionally sneaky...and don't planning councils hate that/when people do that to them because they're all so big and important...anyways, it looks ok actually and it's built now so I think it would be better to just let it stay but maybe a compromise/and it be changed from a private home, to some kind of heritage/trust building...especially as it's homing so much wildlife atm....and really..?../do the courts really want this taking up time from other things...let it go/let it stay and focus on whether it could become part of the greenbelt...

He obviously knew he was doing something illegal as he went to such lengths to hide it, the house will have had no building regs so it could crumble around his ears at any rate, he flouted planning laws I have no sympathy for him |
Am I the only one immaturely laughing at the name Mr Fiddler?:laugh:

Sadly the courts are full of cases which could be dealt with in fasttracked hearings.The law requires massive change and a whole new look at particularly what people are threatened as to prison with. Wrong this was in the full frame of law and council rulings but possible prison. What rubbish. Also it would be nice if councils developed a bit of humour and in all issues as you say work or look to a compromise. Compromise is something I believe in strongly and there are,I have found, few things where compromise would not have probably assisted greatly. |
At the end of the day, he knew he was taking a big risk.

Yeah, the first person I thought of was Sid James. :joker:

I fought the Council and the Council won
|
I'm so torn on this one, he was an idiot to spend so much money on a house that he had no permission for but on the otherhand it's such a beautiful house it makes me sick to think it's going to be torn down

Mr Fidler had argued that the reason he built the property in 2000 was because planning authority in Surrey failed to acknowledge an application to convert an existing property for nine years. His family moved into the home in 2002 but it was later discovered by Reigate and Banstead Borough Council, which ordered its demolition in 2007. The Planning Inspectorate dismissed his appeals, but last November he was granted temporary planning permission for a maximum of three years. However, former Communities and Local Government Secretary Eric Pickles later withdrew this http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...ats-newts.html |

But, I tell you what, I just really can't be arsed anymore, so I'll retract my statements in the post you quote. |
Quote:
Also, the temporary planning permission which was granted was retrospective and illegal, which is why is was withdrawn. This man chanced his arm and he lost. Now he's going to try to make others look unprofessional. |
Quote:
Once permission has been sought via application what else can be done? Is that how applications are granted, you have to sit in attendance at council meetings? Being a farmer this may be impractical perhaps. I would say it was Mr Pickles who made the person who issued the temporary permission appear unprofessional,they will have no doubt have been adhering to the law as it stands. |

He has time to take it down slow brick by brick so it can be rebuilt in a legal plot |
|
Get out of it :fist:

Yes Mr. Fiddler is 67 |

you saw old fiddler and thought "how you doin?" |
Quote:
|
parish meetings at usually at 7.30 or so at night one day a month so he had no excuse farmer or not
|
Quote:
I said if he had gone down the correct route off applying for planning permission what would have been the benefit of attending meetings? He had submitted an application, what more can be done via local councilors? (besides backhanders obv) |
