I think they ask you to take it down.

This is what is known as "development not in accordance with the approved plan". The Council have a discretionary power to take action to require it to be removed or altered to what is shown on the planning permission. This is done via an enforcement notice which, once it comes into effect, has to be complied with under threat of criminal proceedings in the court. The current maximum fine is £20,000.
If the difference is not significant the Council will normally advise the submission of a further amended application to put things right.

You could appy for retrospective planning permission, but this can be very difficult to obtain.
It is likely that you will be asked to remove it and incur all the additional costs. without the permission buliding regulations are highly unlikely to sign off. When you come to sell the property you will find that the buyers solicitor will highlight this problem, so effectively your house is unsaleable.

The local authority can take you to court for being in breach of planning permission and as well as fining you and ordering costs against you, the court can make an order for you to pull down the offending structure.

You have to pull it down and don't do it again. Also don't chop down protected trees. Don't poison natural streams either. Nor make too much unabated noise. Nor intrude on neighbouring land.
If you need to ask that question quit being a builder, that's the safest move for you.

The builder is responsible for taking the risk of building it. If they build per this plan but this plan was rejected, then they eat the scrap.

Unfortunately, my father does it all the time--he figures you're not in trouble if you don't get caught. But if it's not built in accordance with existing codes, or if you didn't get a building permit, you can be fined, be required to bring it up to code, or even forced to tear it down.

You can be issued notice to change or remove what you have built. You can apply for retrospective planning permission however they don't like this.
If you don't abide by the notice you can then go to court.

they will ask you to remove it. Also when it comes to selling your house you will need to provide proof that it was done with planning consent, if it hasnt you will need to take it down at a cost to you.

well.. if it is seriously different to what permission was given to be built it can get demolished! . .but if its a smaller differnence you can get told to change it.. a fine or penalty probably comes into play here too
