She should do the repairs and sue them for it. On the upside they may have just upgraded her to a detached.

They should force the neighbours to pay for the weather proofing imposing daily fines until it's done. The rebuild is gunna be so distruptive too.

I can’t imagine it would have cost much to do some temporary repairs and slap some plaster, bricks etc in the holes.

The council should award the now empty land to the homeowners, who can then decide to rebuild or sell it to cover the costs of repair.

They're so concerned of permits when you build something but then councils just vanish when you actually need them to enforce the rules
