If the OP is having material removed and possibly sold without his authority, it is very much his problem.

It is also the builder's problem if he is removing property without authorisation and the OP reports it to the police.

It is called theft.

Definition: In common usage, theft is the taking of another person's property or services without that person's permission or consent with the intent to deprive the rightful owner of it.

Yes, his problem is with the builder, as you've just described.

Thread hi-jack, if I may.......

What licences / certificates / permissions would I need to fill an old slurry lagoon with sub / topsoil ?

It depends, but there will be some requirement for paperwork. In effect, you will be landfilling.

I think full PP. I have recently been reading a case McPherson vs Secretary of State for Scotland.

The farmer might be the biggest tool in the world and lifting your leg but its the builder who has agreed to whatever deal has been done, either you a seen as a soft touch by your builder and he's taking the P or you have given the impression you want him to get on with the job himself and that's what he's doing

Don't say that, you'll get ignored as well. We often get asked to shift a bit of soil, or maybe some rubble. I've never paid and usually get a bottle for my trouble. If someone wanted stone then I would charge. Tractors and men don't run for nowt after all.

Where is this magic world where you can swap soil for sub-base?

I needed 40 loads of crushed to fill a bit of ground where I had stripped the soil, I was charged for that to be delivered of course, they offered to take the topsoil away for 200 a load - me paying them. I spread it about on the fields and a bloke had a truck full for a bottle of wine.

Its a bit like the price of straw (location location location)

Topsoil is so much a ton around here.

Am I missing something here?... Thousands of tons of top soil coming from development sites are tipped each week at sites near us charged at a cost of £10/ton to tip. It's hardly a big thing if it has been removed free of charge? .

Neither cost nor price are the same thing as value.

Wish I could get good topsoil tipped on my farm and charge them £10/T!
