Don't think too much about the private landing strip... seems a bit too short for me?

So can't be the military, must be for someone in a Benz with dodgy brakes!

Perhaps it won't be such a bad thing as the rich and entitled pratt might demand his water feature be filled. It's looking a bit dry at present.

If you read the story, they did not have permission to build so no officials were involved, except those who discovered the site and have declared the construction as illegal. No brown envelopes involved this time. Sorry to disappoint.

My error- I checked my garmin and the house is recorded at 138m. There are other houses higher up the hill that have been there for years.

The neighbours must not be very observant - it appears construction has being ongoing for several months and has just now been 'found'.
