The sculptures, inspired by the Egyptians, were built on wasteland. A spokesman for Brighton and Hove City Council said it often approved planning permission retrospectively. The highest pyramid, made entirely with sand and water, stands at 15m (45ft). The sculptures are said to be able to withstand winds up to force seven and remain intact for many months.

Council approves sand sculptures
The sculptures were built with 10,000 tons of special sand. A sand sculpture exhibition that opened in Brighton last week has been granted planning permission after fears the work would have to be pulled down. Nearly 10,000 tons - 500 lorry loads - of special sand was shipped from Holland to Brighton Marina for the festival, which lasts until September.
