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 creator of style chain Jigsaw needed to conquer objections from residents about sound contamination and overloaded roads. He was offered 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 approved permission to events on the sprawling 450-acre estate, where Poldark star Eleanor Tomlinson exchanged swears with rugby player Will Owen.

'Euridge Manor Weddings is delighted at the grant of planning authorization,' 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 tycoon extended the estate, acquiring 250 acres of surrounding land, and constructing an orangery with 2 bed rooms 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 ceremonies.

Neighbours complained about traffic, music and firework screens lasting into the little hours and said 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 based on a series of conditions to control sound and address highway safety concerns.
