says he only removed some stud walls ....

Oh ... only those things that are holding the house up ... thats all
right then

I suppose there was a tie beam at inconvenient height between the two
bedrooms so he got rid of it so the walls fell in

If he lived in St Edmundsbury (he doesn't though I expect Didcot rules
are similar) then he should have informed the council seven days
before starting any structural stuff with the timber frame so the
council can send round an inspector if they deem it necessary.
Probably he never put in for listed building consent though so he
doesn't know this
