They probably figured its not their problem...
If he didn't want Planning to know, I'd be highly surprised if he had
risked involving Building Control, as the lesser of the two evils.
Building Control are only ever likely to want something demolished if
it's dangerous, whereas Planning want it knocked down because it's
there...

So when did he get it signed off by BC? If he didn't, then I don't see
how it could have been considered "finished" anyway.

Building Control have enforcement powers for 12 months after work is
"finished", which suggests there is a definition of "finished" that is
independent of Building Control.

The crappy lean-to utility room outside my kitchen has been there
since the 1960s and is clearly finished, though I doubt anyone
resembling a BCO has ever seen it.
