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

The multi-millionaire founder of style chain Jigsaw had to get rid of objections from locals about sound contamination and overloaded roadways. He was offered 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 inquiry, Robinson, 77, has been granted approval to continue hosting occasions on the stretching 450-acre estate, where Poldark star Eleanor Tomlinson exchanged vows with rugby player Will Owen.

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

When Robinson bought Euridge Manor Farm in 1980, it covered 200 acres, with a five-bedroom farmhouse, sheds and three homes. But the tycoon extended the estate, purchasing 250 acres of surrounding land, and building 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 registered business Euridge Manor Weddings Incorporated and began hosting events.
