Fashion tycoon John Robinson, who utilized Kate Middleton before she wed Prince William, has won a three-year fight to host weddings at his Cotswolds estate.

But, after a nine-day public inquiry, Robinson, 77, has been granted consent to continue hosting events on the sprawling 450-acre estate, where Poldark star Eleanor Tomlinson exchanged pledges with rugby player Will Owen.

'Euridge Manor Weddings is delighted at the grant of planning approval,' a representative 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 two bed rooms and an indoor swimming pool.

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