Ha ha the look on his face is priceless!

He can probably afford it anyway, just an inconvenience for him and his busy work schedule. He must of got a contractor in to do the work? If so what’s happening to them? But still glad to see a result as the public still don’t take TPO/Conservation areas serious enough what’s a few more weeks of waiting for permission. It’s the I want in done yesterday attitude for morons like him.

He looks like a right bellend.

He looks like the weapon in the BMW who tailgates everyone.

Yeah £1m for that box, no wonder he's got a sour face.

Interesting to see that the Proceeds of Crime Act was used as his house had gone up in value apparently as a result of the increased light.

Aye. I think it's a fair use of the act. The last thing that guy needs is more sunlight.

I realise he, or his contractor shouldn't have done what he did, but it's £40k!, sounds a lot, and is to most people. I'd bet he's laughing. He's got what he wanted and the courts have been seen to do the right thing.

 

Will other wealthy property owners/developers worry about it? I doubt it very much.
