Daily Mail<\/em> writes:<\/p>\n

A greedy property tycoon who horrified Yorkshire villagers by flattening their 200-year-old pub has been handed a \u00a354,000 fine after not obtaining planning permission.<\/p>\n

Property developer Wayne Low, 48, demolished the historic Travellers Rest pub, in Long Riston, east Yorkshire, last year despite pleas for him to stop.<\/p>\n

Low, of Molescroft, Beverley, admitted failing to obtain planning permission to demolish the pub on January 30, 2020.<\/p>\n

He was fined \u00a332,000 and was ordered to pay \u00a321,968 costs. No separate penalty was imposed on his company AGML (UK).<\/p>\n

Recorder Tahir Khan QC said: ‘The harm that was caused to a heritage asset was exacerbated by the fact that your object was make money….<\/p>\n

Locals were alerted to what was going when workmen turned up to switch off the power shortly after New Year 2020.<\/p>\n

Killian Garvey, prosecuting for East Riding Council, said that the pub was demolished between November 2019 and February last year.<\/p>\n

While demolition was ongoing on January 30 last year, Low was warned that he was committing an offence and that he should stop.<\/p>\n

‘He refused that,’ said Mr Garvey. ‘He was told explicitly that he was committing an offence to demolish the pub.’….<\/p>\n

After a legal battle against the ruling, he later turned the sole surviving wing of the 18th century building into a micro pub….<\/p>\n

Local councillor Brian Skow said: ‘I’ve never seen villagers this upset before. It was a wonderful pub.’<\/p>\n

The pub, founded in the early 1800s had closed in 2018 and, although it was not listed, it was in the village conservation area.<\/p>\n

In mitigation, Low claimed he had a ‘genuine passion for historic buildings’.<\/p>\n
