A millionaire accountant who built Britain's biggest man cave without planning permission has lost his battle with the council over the structure. Graham Wildin had built the 10,000 square foot complex in 2014 but didn't bother with any planning consent. It includes a 10-pin bowling alley, squash court, gym and cinema! Wildin has been in a ten year dispute with the Forest of Dean Council and in out of court over the issue. He even served a six week custodial sentence for contempt. He also claimed to have sold the building to a mystery Mexican for £1 to absolve himself of liability. But now, the council are set to demolish the illegal structure and will start this month. It is expected to take up to 8 weeks.
