Princess Kate's old boss has achieved a significant victory in the wedding industry, rather than in fashion.
John Robinson, the creator of high-street fashion business Jigsaw and former employer of Kate Middleton, has won a three-year fight to host weddings at his magnificent Cotswolds house, Euridge Manor.
According to Richard Eden of the Daily Mail, Robinson's aim of converting his enormous 450-acre property into a full-fledged events facility may now move forward thanks to a second approved planning application and a successful appeal.
Neighbours originally expressed complaints about noise and increased traffic, prompting the issuance of an enforcement notice.
Wiltshire Council finally approved a revised design that featured a new access route to reduce local interruptions.
Robinson, who purchased Euridge Manor in 1980, has spent decades transforming the country home into a romantic retreat.
The property, which was originally 200 acres and had a five-bedroom farmhouse and three cottages, has subsequently been enlarged to 450 acres.
