So what happens about building regs for electrics, flues, structure,
windows , footings etc on a house such as this?

I presume they've used some expired time period to lapse the ability of the
planners to do anything (same approach that Fidler's Castle used) - in which
case, failure-to-notify-building-regs was passed long ago...

AFAIK only if the building presented a danger then can the LABC intervene.
If the owner was clever enough to pull this stunt off, they would have made
sure the main regs were met (eg foundations, fire related things, ...)

Wonder how Fidler is doing - last I read, it was going up to the Lords (or
is that the Supreme Court)...
