I think most people are upset because this is a fairly regular pattern of behaviour. Secure a plot of land, tee up loads of building supplies, drop in a planning application at the last minute on a Friday bank holiday weekend then start the work knowing full well once its started it'll be a hellish job for the council to evict them or get the work reversed.
