The Surrey farmer who was ordered to tear down his mock Tudor home has vowed to rebuild his home somewhere else.

Robert Fidler built the house without planning permission, in Salfords, in the Surrey greenbelt, in 2000 and hid it behind hay bales.

At a previous hearing, Mr Fidler,, had been told to tear down his home by 6 June or face jail.

On Monday, Stephen Whale, counsel for Reigate and Banstead Borough Council, told the judge that Mr Fidler had made “very good progress in terms of complying with the requirements of the enforcement notices”, but that he had not “fully complied with the requirements”.
