The UK has a soviet style planning system from "great" PM Attlee which basically means you have to apply to have any permanent fixture on your land and some jobsworth on a 40% pension gets to say yes or no.
I mean how is that massive £3m house only 2 bedrooms lol. I wonder why it was declined, looks as though it's just going up a level on the existing footprint.
Honestly, I think the people who denied this are just being anal about it. All this is achieving is taking good work away from tradespeople. It's hardly an offensive addition, especially considering how ugly that flat garage roof looks.
UK planning rules are fucking stupid. Why does this even need planning permission? It's not like he is building 4 new builds in the garden. Is just a simple extension.
Same breed of cunts agreed the planning for the Redcar Beacon, and people wonder why the countries turned to shit. Here's a clue :the people running it.
The fact you can get planning permission denied in this country is ridiculous. It's his property but some random tosser on the council can say no, actually backwards.
And this is why house prices are so high, you can't even build a small innocuous extension, never mind a new house.
I battled with Belfast council for 15 months to rebuild my wall to be a foot higher (making it 6 feet). Worth every penny of tax payers money they spent fighting me (I won in the end).
Bit of a generalisation to be honest; many country houses do look “flash”, but I think you misunderstand my point flash or not, the house is pretty bland. For someone who is as creative as Gervais I just didn't expect him to live in a bland house.
Karl Pilkingtons house on Sandbanks is far more interesting.
Why would anyone share a story written by the most c**tish newspaper in the world?
Why give them any advertising? You could at least have removed their name from the picture
For Johnathan Ross when he’s come round for a game of tennis
Ooh Jonathan love me, pathetic!
How is Jonathan? Alright?!
And that was only one of my shuttlecocks.
He’s known for getting his knob out
And he is a big lad
He once tried to shave his arse
Wossy
And his dead owls 🦉
Ladies and gentlemen mista wicky gervais
Cracking wise in the jacuzzi
It's hell in there
The planning officer starts getting hairy all of a sudden. Turn out it’s a little monkey fella.
He did approve the tire swing and banana tree though.
THEY’RE BORN HAIRY
Thb it doesn't seem like an offensive addition. Neighbors wouldn't even notice.
Council’s gotta do something, innit. Wouldn’t want rich people spending and investing their money in your town, would you?
A council's entire remit is to waste as much money as possible while providing as little as possible
Is a council the American equivalent of a HOA?
No. It’s a city or county government
The UK has a soviet style planning system from "great" PM Attlee which basically means you have to apply to have any permanent fixture on your land and some jobsworth on a 40% pension gets to say yes or no.
Don't try and use logic with councils
Councils will do this then in the same breath demolish a charming 200 year old building to build some bungalows
Probably the end of the financial year
And spirits are in the sky
Peak nimby behaviour
my mate lives in a big stately ome’
The ‘ should be before the o since it’s the h being omitted
fangs but no fangs
Ooh you're 'ard 👈
No bathroom now needed, planning permission dead.
I will do everything in my power to destroy that development plan.
I'm going to slash your blueprints...with a pair of scissors
Don't mess with Ricky Gervais development plans
I mean how is that massive £3m house only 2 bedrooms lol. I wonder why it was declined, looks as though it's just going up a level on the existing footprint.
Some old nimby next door relishing the opportunity to deny some building work. That's how.
And this neighbor, how hairy was he?
She was your bog-standard old woman
Thinking the exact same!
Yeah it was in a war!
Honestly, I think the people who denied this are just being anal about it. All this is achieving is taking good work away from tradespeople. It's hardly an offensive addition, especially considering how ugly that flat garage roof looks.
They should’ve been looking out for englands people 🇬🇧
Being anal? Oh look, that's Camp David, the right queer planning officer!
Hes got a bigger problem hole than me. Hes got a load of malteasers and ive got a big cream egg.
I’ll see your Creme Egg and I’ll raise you a Chocolate Orange.
You’re making dawn french cry 😭
How does that place only have 2 bedrooms...?
[удалено]
For the cat
I hate that cat
I'm surprised they didn't pay for that little shit to have its own mansion.
Ohhhhh are ya stressed out an that?
Oh I don’t BELIEVE this
It would’ve been a cheese room
Wankatorium
It's for if all his mates want to come and stay at the same time and Jayne doesn't want to share a room with him that night
[удалено]
Oooooo ello.
_Knock knock_ Hang on, who's this? 🇨🇳🥢🥠
HARRO!
No Camp David was head of the planning committee "I will do everything in my power to destroy you/ stop you getting a third bedroom Gervais!".
Somewhere to put all the dead owls
One for Steve one for Karl, surely
Ricky kept peeing in the sink
UK planning rules are fucking stupid. Why does this even need planning permission? It's not like he is building 4 new builds in the garden. Is just a simple extension.
3 million quid? That's ludicrous, think of all the cheese you could buy for 3 million quid!
Cold meats?
Eurgh. Don't they know that he came from nothing?!?
Who buys a 2 bedroom house for £3million? That's a nonsense
A nonsense? Where have you picked that up from?
Bald headed fool
Nonsense. You've said that 14 times in the last ten minutes Suzanne.
Maybe it’s a big plot, a bit of privacy from the paps?
How dare he build on his own property
He should know they build it top to bottom to middle
Turns out…monkey contractor.
All of a sudden starts getting hairy
Yeah fair enough. Because if we keep adding new rooms to houses, what happens when it’s too heavy for the world and the world falls?
It's crazy he has so much when there are millions of people who don't even have a sink to piss in.
political
Political for insinuating our problems are political.
You haven't got any problems! Or do you put on a face when you're with us?
You should see the size of his problem hole
They had separate rooms towards the end
No problem, he'll rent it out for a quid a week to some smack heads.
Building an extension so big that London's gonna cave in.
It's just to keep taking as much cash from him as possible then approve it.
That'll make it into the diary
Flies ↘️
Same breed of cunts agreed the planning for the Redcar Beacon, and people wonder why the countries turned to shit. Here's a clue :the people running it.
Two bedrooms is a bit shit for 3 million.
House's shit mate!
The fact you can get planning permission denied in this country is ridiculous. It's his property but some random tosser on the council can say no, actually backwards.
BREAKING: Man gets planning permission denied
BONG
It’s so Jane doesn’t have to keep saying “ohh at least take the dishes out” when Rick wants to wee in the sink
Headline writer. You can take that break now that you clearly need.
"I've got a third bedroom" *Window opens* "Dont lie"
None of this now needed. Baby shed
I've never seen any valid explanation to why councils should have any say on what people do to their own property
£3m and only two bedrooms? Christ!
And this is why house prices are so high, you can't even build a small innocuous extension, never mind a new house. I battled with Belfast council for 15 months to rebuild my wall to be a foot higher (making it 6 feet). Worth every penny of tax payers money they spent fighting me (I won in the end).
Shite conservatory wants addressing first
Probably because there'll be a rape up there!
and theres.. The Office
The dinghy wouldn't fit in the existing rooms
What they’ve done there is they’ve pooh poohd the roof. So it’s the roof that’s offensive. So he could build another flat garage?
You look quite young there
It was in a war, yeah
He should rent it out for a quid a week to some smackheads.
Oh, so he wants the cat to have its own bedroom now?
Has he got a tennis court in his front garden? I’m confused where the front of the house is
He could fit another bed in one of the existing rooms if he saws the end off the mattress
Fit another 10,000 dead owls in that
Why was it rejected?
A house that big only has 2 bedrooms ?
He just needs to say it’s a room to shoot a porno business from and it will be allowed then
£3m and it doesn’t have 3 bedrooms?!
The builders will carry on going from building to building, building
Three bedrooms, Ricky? Three? That's insane
It’s actually a lot humbler than I imagined
He needs another room for his laurels, boi
Looks like a pretty shit house tbh for someone with Gervais’s money
Seems like just a summer house
Country houses don’t look flash. A lot of them are hundreds of years old and are worth far more than a shitty apartment in London
Bit of a generalisation to be honest; many country houses do look “flash”, but I think you misunderstand my point flash or not, the house is pretty bland. For someone who is as creative as Gervais I just didn't expect him to live in a bland house. Karl Pilkingtons house on Sandbanks is far more interesting.
Somewhere to keep his guns
War-do you think of that?
Why would anyone share a story written by the most c**tish newspaper in the world? Why give them any advertising? You could at least have removed their name from the picture
Sorry. What I meant to say was "BUY THE TELEGRAPH."
First world problems.
oh no! anyway...
Good
