You should know that the law about removing structures from roadsides has been cancelled. This means that the rules that used to be in place for taking away things built near roads are no longer active. The government decided to stop using these rules on 1 October 1989. If you want to know more about why this change happened, you can look at the Government Roading Powers Act 1989.
