Fashion tycoon 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 creator of fashion chain Jigsaw needed to get rid of objections from locals about sound pollution and busy roads. He was given four 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 been approved consent to continue hosting events on the stretching 450-acre estate, where Poldark star Eleanor Tomlinson exchanged swears with rugby gamer Will Owen.

'Euridge Manor Weddings is delighted at the grant of preparing authorization,' a spokesman says.

When Robinson bought Euridge Manor Farm in 1980, it covered 200 acres, with a five-bedroom farmhouse, sheds and three homes. But the magnate 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 signed up company Euridge Manor Weddings Incorporated and started hosting events.

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

After two planning applications and an appeal, planning authorization has actually now been given based on a variety of conditions to control sound and address highway safety issues.
