rich guy figured out how to flout the English laws, and piss off the neighbors, and so far has avoided his place getting bulldozed, or his cars keyed


he’d built in his backyard without construction approval from the local authority council, or permits, which is a big no-no regardless of whether you live in the UK or any other country.
 
He built a squash court, a casino, a private movie theater, an entire kids’ playground, and a nightclub, a generously-sized garage that housed more than 20 collectibles.

 The council ordered him to take down the complex, but he repeatedly ignored all requests in this sense.
 
Instead, he bought two more patches of land that he gave to his family, effectively closing in the complex: authorities would have to get the relatives’ permission to get bulldozers in to tear down the complex
 
Then, and I do not understand this part, he parked all his cars on the street to piss off the neighbors, in some way this is supposed to get them to annoy the council, and I don't understand that purpose, or how it serves his purposes...  but he's certain that it does. And he has cameras covering all those parked cars to catch anyone keying them or flattening their tires. 

The parked vehicles include several Porsches, a Bentley, a Rolls-Royce, a Range Rover, and a bright yellow Jensen Interceptor.
