Council Orders Demolition of £40k Extension! (Planning Nightmare)

Описание: Imagine spending £40,000 on a new kitchen extension, only to receive a letter from the Council 3 years later ordering you to tear it down. It sounds like a horror story, but in 2026, this is becoming a reality for thousands of UK homeowners.

In this urgent video, I expose the "Planning Permission Nightmare" sweeping the country. Neighbors are weaponizing ancient "Right to Light" laws to block renovations, and the Council has quietly changed the famous "4-Year Rule" to a "10-Year Rule"—meaning your old extension might not be safe anymore.

I explain exactly why "Permitted Development" is a trap, how the "45-Degree Rule" can ruin your project, and reveal the ONE legal document you need to bulletproof your home against demolition orders.

⚠️ WARNING: If you have built a "Garden Room" or converted a loft without a Certificate of Lawfulness, you need to watch this immediately.
