A field in the village was transformed by intense, unauthorised building work over the bank holiday weekend

This has been going on locally. Not paid much attention as it is a monthly occurrence around here. But skimmed through a couple of photos and recognised the place. It is owned by an Irish horse dealer and his brother a developer. Not travellers but forget on a regular basis that they can't work on Irish rules in Surrey.
When they built the house in the background of the photos I helped with the septic tank and had taken a tanker lorry to fill it. The tank was huge to serve 4 or 5 properties but was at least a 60 person unit. I showed up at just gone 7 in the winter and parked on site with the engine running and had a chat with the brothers. A neighbour complained to the planning department that there was an engine running so early, so they rocked up just before lunch. And proceeded to find a long list of planning breaches. Including the tank that was now mostly concreted in, being 10m behind house number 1 when it was meant to 30m Infront of house number 4.
The two Irish brothers saw the planning inspector and proceeded to become absolutely unintelligible. Being perfectly friendly, but completely unhelpful. Whilst everyone English onsite pissed themselves knowing the accent was vastly exaggerated, until the planning inspector gave up.
