A fun game of spot the difference, but apparently there's more going on that you can't see -- eg the planned underground carpark just not being built at all, and them building a carpark over the garden instead.
I mean, the missing car part should have been obvious from the day the foundations went in...
In general agreement though, it looks like they cut a lot of corners from the original application. Should have been flagged sooner though.
I'm surprised they expected to get away with sich a rip-off in the first place.
Sounds like not enough staff due to budget cuts. They probably assume the big developers are going to play nice and one bend the rules in an 'acceptable' way....
