This is pretty sad. If he's mentally and physically capable enough to build a robot, he surely shouldn't have had to worry about being stuck in a care home.

London and the area around it is very densely populated. It's surrounded by a "green belt" of open country and farmland where building is not permitted. This is to prevent urban sprawl from taking over, and to allow people some of the benefits of the countryside.

For a rich guy to just build a house in the middle of the green belt, hoping to take advantage of a technicality, is pretty shabby behaviour. The hay-bale trick is also a bit nasty on the farmers, who are probably now going to be intrusively scrutinized.

I hope the house is knocked down.
