Four mega mansions with a market value of £1m each, have been torn down after a council discovered massive breaches in planning regulations. The six-bedroom properties built in the serene West Pennine Moors were flattened by Bolton Council.
Work is continuing apace on the final house after it was discovered that the properties had been built in the wrong size and wrong location. The properties were nearly ready to move into, when building inspectors made the shock discovery of multiple building regulation breaches.
It was found that the properties were not only built in the wrong location, they were also nearly a third bigger than what had been authorised. It has been a lengthy, years' long argument between Bolton Council and homeowners, which first started in 2018 when Bolton Council initially ordered the demolition.
