He tried to extend his mansion stealthily without seeking planning permission.

He's been buying up plenty of agricultural land in prevision of Brexit (which he obviously supported)

Without planning permission! Oh my, how utterly evil. However it would seem this appalling transgression might not have been so despicable after all.

It does say a lot about someone's character. His house is listed so he probably thought he would not get permission. But since money is not an issue for him he thought "fuck it, I'll do what I want", and got away with it.
