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

The multi-millionaire creator of fashion chain Jigsaw had to overcome objections from residents about noise contamination and busy roadways. He was given 4 months' notice in 2022 to stop hosting events at his ₤ 12 million residential or commercial property, Euridge Manor.

But, after a nine-day public inquiry, Robinson, 77, has been given approval to continue hosting occasions on the stretching 450-acre estate, where Poldark star Eleanor Tomlinson exchanged promises with rugby player Will Owen.

'Euridge Manor Weddings is thrilled at the grant of planning approval,' a spokesman says.

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 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 display 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 planning applications and an appeal, preparing approval has actually now been granted subject to a range of conditions to manage sound and address highway safety issues.
