The UK's "biggest man cave" is finally being dismantled after a ten-year planning dispute, with its roof now stripped away. Graham Wildin, 70, a millionaire, has persistently ignored court orders to demolish his massive 10,000sq/ft leisure complex and has even been incarcerated for his defiance.

The controversy began in 2014 when Wildin constructed the 'man cave', complete with a bowling alley, casino, and cinema behind his house without the necessary permissions. Demolition by the Forest of Dean District Council commenced in June, and recent developments have seen the roof removed, exposing the hollowed interior.

Aerial images reveal the bare structure of the building located behind Wildin's residence in Cinderford, in the Forest of Dean. Gone are the luxurious squash courts, children's play area, and bowling lanes that were visible in an earlier video showcasing the complex.

He should've just filled his backyard with trash, like his neighbours, and he would've been fine.

I was expecting it to be in the grounds of a large estate but he's just turned a suburban garden into an entertainment complex.
