Inquiry hears farmer's castle battle
A farmer's fight to stop the demolition of a mock Tudor castle he built without planning permission is being considered by a planning inspector.
Robert Fidler built the castle at Honeycrock Farm in Salfords, Surrey, in 2002 and hid it behind a haystack.
He was first ordered to tear it down in 2008 and has been fighting a legal battle with Reigate and Banstead Borough Council ever since.
An inquiry is hearing his latest appeal against refusal of planning permission.
