Tonight’s episode of Grand Designs followed a chap who’d decided to build a New England-style water mill in the Chilterns, on a hill and nowhere near any water, after being inspired by an illustration on a yoghurt pot. He bought the plot 20 years ago and it was his dream to build a retreat for himself and his family. It was very impressive – he seemed to do a lot of the work himself. However he seemed to get ahead of himself with regards the planning process. He build 3 ft higher than the granted planning permission allowed and then carried on building as the council complained. He looked very stressed, but he did seem to bring it on himself.

What a log of bulls**t from planning committee. 3ft taller so what when someone is bringing a fantastic builing in place. Well done to a beautiful building on a awkward location. will Grand design revisit when completely finished.
