Fashion tycoon John Robinson, who used Kate Middleton before she wed Prince William, has actually 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 residents about sound pollution and busy roadways. He was provided 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 given consent to continue hosting events on the sprawling 450-acre estate, where Poldark star Eleanor Tomlinson exchanged swears with rugby player Will Owen.

'Euridge Manor Weddings is thrilled at the grant of planning permission,' a spokesperson states.

When Robinson bought Euridge Manor Farm in 1980, it covered 200 acres, with a five-bedroom farmhouse, outbuildings and three homes. But the magnate extended the estate, buying 250 acres of surrounding land, and building an orangery with 2 bedrooms and an indoor swimming pool.

He married now ex-wife Belle at Euridge in 2004. After their divorce in 2014, Robinson signed up business Euridge Manor Weddings Incorporated and started hosting events.

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

After two preparation applications and an appeal, planning consent has now been given subject to a series of conditions to control noise and address highway safety concerns.
