I thought the usual way was to just do and apply for retro permission with the Council enforcement officers doing little to stop them. Can't remember last time I read about someone being stopped building or being forced to return a building to how it was because they did not apply for planning permission first.
Please prove me wrong on this, it would be good to know people can't just do what they want. There are some post on this thread about houses being built that had not had planning approved first
