If you deliberately remove every internal wall and excavate the cellar, then it is quite likely that your house will fall down. In this case somebody died because of the poor supervision and management of the site, although the HSE is still to determine the penalty over two years after the death and the collapse of the building. And it does seem as if the crown prosecution service will be pressing charges for negligence or corporate manslaughter.

A very sad story which is still not over.
