Guyt - I would love to hear if there are any stories about elderly Spaniards homes being demolished due to planning irregularities.
Several years ago, thousands if illegal builds in Marbella got 'normalised' - cronyism and wealth rule! Only in Spain!
Read the following comments and you will see the mitigating points for anyone, never mind a 70 year old pensioner.
"Not being native to Spain I trusted the experts to sort out all necessary planning permissions and licences. As far as I was concerned I had done everything above board and built in good faith."
"Now, at this point, I must mention that my Spanish next-door neighbour built an identical extension to mine with the same builders with absolutely no planning permissions... and yet, to this day, he has been allowed to live a carefree life.Furthermore, there are dozens of identical extensions in the urbanization… is this discrimination? Bullying? Or even racism?"
