Fashion magnate John Robinson, who employed Kate Middleton before she wed Prince William, has won a three-year fight to host weddings at his Cotswolds estate.

The multi-millionaire founder of fashion chain Jigsaw had to overcome objections from locals about sound pollution and overloaded roads. He was offered 4 months' notification in 2022 to stop hosting events at his ₤ 12 million residential or commercial property, Euridge Manor.

But, after a nine-day public query, Robinson, 77, has actually been approved approval to continue hosting events on the sprawling 450-acre estate, where Poldark star Eleanor Tomlinson exchanged promises with rugby player Will Owen.

'Euridge Manor Weddings is pleased at the grant of preparing authorization,' a spokesman states.

When Robinson bought Euridge Manor Farm in 1980, it covered 200 acres, with a five-bedroom farmhouse, outbuildings and three homes. But the tycoon extended the estate, buying 250 acres of surrounding land, and building an orangery with two bedrooms and an indoor pool.

He married now ex-wife Belle at Euridge in 2004. After their divorce in 2014, Robinson registered company Euridge Manor Weddings Incorporated and started hosting ceremonies.

Neighbours complained about traffic, music and firework screens lasting into the small hours and said the estate did not have approval for 'change of use' in order to host weddings.

After 2 planning applications and an appeal, planning consent has now been granted based on a series of conditions to manage noise and address highway safety concerns.
