It wouldn't be the first time he has upset them - http://www.homesandproperty.co.uk/property_news/news/boltonsprotestagainstproposedmansion.html

I wonder if he has room for his armoured plated Hummer ?

"hideous monstrosity in a street full of beautiful houses”. - I think it was a bit harsh to call him this....

[Bang!]

Seems a bit daft for someone associated with a raft of doorstepping, even after receiving removal of right of access to take action promoting the location of his own doorstep to those his company bothered.

 

He clearly wont mind if anyone visits.

Does he think such depths are beyond the reach of the OFT ?

"In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat: it was a hobbit-hole, and that means comfort.

 

It had a perfectly round door like a porthole, painted green, with a shiny yellow brass knob in the exact middle. The door opened on to a tube-shaped hall like a tunnel: a very comfortable tunnel without smoke, with panelled walls, and floors tiled and carpeted, provided with polished chairs, and lots and lots of pegs for hats and coats – the hobbit was fond of visitors. The tunnel wound on and on, going fairly but not quite straight into the side of the hill – The Hill, as all the people for many miles round called it – and many little round doors opened out of it, first on one side and then on another. No going upstairs for the hobbit: bedrooms, bathrooms, cellars, pantries (lots of these), wardrobes (he had whole rooms devoted to clothes), kitchens, dining-rooms, all were on the same floor, and indeed on the same passage. The best rooms were all on the left-hand side (going in), for these were the only ones to have windows, deep-set round windows looking over his garden, and meadows beyond, sloping down to the river.

Perhaps the Burdells thought that giving some of their grubby money to the Conservative Party would ease the way for them. No doubt their neighbours see them as parvenus, and no wonder - they want to replace a rather nice house with gypsy/footballer styling.

I am not usually a fan of the tabloid press, but the Mirror seem to have the measure of him:

 

Paul Burdell, 50, is doing so well out of other people's misery that he wants to demolish his existing grandiose property and replace it with an even more luxurious pile on the same site.

[ScarletPimpernel]

I note that Burdell is an American, which may well account for his poor taste and lack of consideration for his neighbours. No doubt his plans include a hot tub in the garden, parking for his pick-up, and a rocking chair on the front porch on which one of Link's phone monkeys can sit plucking a banjo, Deliverance-stylee.

What I want to know is how many doorsteps it will have for collection!

Judging by the mugshot he needs to live in a hole, along with all the other trolls

Uncanny. Un-can-ny. They MUST be related, probably within the last generation.

My Precious

[cerberusalert]

Originally known as Sméagol, he was corrupted by the One Ring and later named Gollum after his habit of making "a horrible swallowing noise in his throat".

 

His life was extended far beyond its natural limits by the effects of possessing the Ring, which he frequently referred to as "my precious" and "my birthday present". After Bilbo Baggins took it during the famous Riddle Game, Gollum pursued it for the rest of his life. During his centuries under the Ring's influence, Gollum came to love and hate the Ring, just as he loved and hated himself.

I don’t think there’s any danger of Mr Burdell doing anything other than love himself... who mentioned onanism?
