Absolutely. And it was a super house, to boot.

Is it still the case that the planning consent was only for his
lifetime - after that it has to come down?

I would doubt that it will ever be demolished, as they stated, it is
an architectural wonder, and, at worst will end up in a folk museum.

The simple fact that it has been extended with little problem means
the planners love it and that's everything.


It migth be taken down and transported to Singleton Open-Air
Museum - where many 'rescued' buildings are reconstructed.
[Don't know how _they'll_ relocate the mud walls - but
they'll think of something]
Given the builders age and mine: I'll not see it at Singleton; but
perhaps my grandkid's might.
