The multi-millionaire founder of style chain Jigsaw needed to conquer objections from locals about noise contamination and overloaded roadways. 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 query, Robinson, 77, has actually been given 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 preparing permission,' a spokesman says.
When Robinson bought Euridge Manor Farm in 1980, it covered 200 acres, with a five-bedroom farmhouse, outbuildings and three cottages. But the magnate extended the estate, purchasing 250 acres of surrounding land, and developing an orangery with two bed rooms and an indoor swimming pool.
He wed now ex-wife Belle at Euridge in 2004. After their divorce in 2014, Robinson registered company Euridge Manor Weddings Incorporated and began hosting ceremonies.
