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

The multi-millionaire founder of style chain Jigsaw had to get rid of objections from residents about sound pollution and busy roads. He was given four months' notification in 2022 to stop hosting occasions at his ₤ 12 million residential or commercial property, Euridge Manor.

But, after a nine-day public inquiry, Robinson, 77, has actually been granted approval to continue hosting occasions on the sprawling 450-acre estate, where Poldark star Eleanor Tomlinson exchanged swears with rugby gamer Will Owen.

'Euridge Manor Weddings is happy at the grant of preparing approval,' a spokesperson says.

When Robinson bought Euridge Manor Farm in 1980, it covered 200 acres, with a five-bedroom farmhouse, sheds and three cottages. But the magnate extended the estate, acquiring 250 acres of surrounding land, and constructing an orangery with two bed rooms and an indoor pool.

He wed now ex-wife Belle at Euridge in 2004. After their divorce in 2014, Robinson registered business Euridge Manor Weddings Incorporated and began hosting events.
