A millionaire has been jailed after refusing to tear down his infamous man cave following an eight year row with the local council. Graham Wildin remained composed as he was sentenced to prison after failing to comply with a judge's order to tear down the huge leisure complex he had constructed in his back garden in Cinderford, Gloucestershire.
The 70-year-old now faces six weeks behind bars following an eight year planning dispute over the illegally built man cave, believed to be one of the biggest in the UK. Upon his release, Wildin has 18 weeks to comply with the original order to demolish the facilities - a mandate he has repeatedly ignored in the past.
The enormous leisure building features a gym, squash court, cinema, bowling alley, classic car collection, swimming pool, bar, casino and more, according to the Mirror. Judge Jarman QC stated that the accountant had shown - throughout the legal battle - that he had his mind set against acting in accordance with the Forest of Dean District Council.
