A council has ordered 2 apartment blocks in South East London to be demolished for breaching planning conditions - despite tenants having already moved in. The £36 million Mast Quay development in Woolwich is 'substantially different' to the approved plans, Greenwich Council…

@calliebh @GMB Councils don't make visits and quite often don't inspect post build (especially domestic) unless somebody complains. It is the developers responsibility to build to the restrictions from the planning process. This is not on the council, this lies squarely with the developer.

@calliebh @GMB They didn't. He said they've been raising the issue with the developer for a very long time, but the developer knows they can count on their expensive lawyers and client media to get away with it.

@calliebh @GMB They were asked not to lease the flats to tenants and went ahead regardless. Absolute cowboys.

@calliebh @GMB They've been (not) working from Home

@calliebh @GMB Maybe they didn’t get their cut

@calliebh @GMB it stinks of corruption, smells like council is mad they got too little kickbacks, so they deemed it unlawflaw

@calliebh @GMB To make a deliberately huge example of the builders. They were set up.

@calliebh @GMB Obviously councillors or Croydon building inspectors were working from home. You really could not make it up. With Socialist Labour, all very reminiscent of Unite and... * That Liverpool Hotel * Frightening that Labour could soon be in charge of the UK's credit card & finance.

@calliebh @GMB Surely the builders used the agreed plans ??
