Love Colin Furze, but the power pop tunes are fucking delightful!
No way this guys is allowed to continue when the commies in charge get wind of this unless he's digging it for nefarious purposes. It's sad that I think of that first instead of how interesting and cool it is.
Underground dig-outs are pretty common in the UK. Good bedrock, low water table, land is expensive. So, you go down. 1000s of basements have been built in London alone under 200 year old houses. Some of the basements are larger than the original houses.
Kids, don't believe everything you see on TV. 100% this guy has paid for (a) engineering drawings, (b) soil core samples, (c) zoning and construction approval, (c) a small crew of 2-3 guys to do 75% of the work.
I'm not saying this guy isn't real. He is. It's just that he does (as most successful youtubers) a VERY good job of creating a narrative and sticking with it.
Odds are the "got to be quiet" is legit but was likely a neighbor who protested the project at the council meeting and so the council approved the project but put a noise restriction on it. Assuming that's the case - he's a smart guy and played it off as a "secret project."
