'Euridge Manor Weddings is thrilled at the grant of planning authorization,' a spokesperson says.

When Robinson purchased Euridge Manor Farm in 1980, it covered 200 acres, with a five-bedroom farmhouse, outbuildings and three cottages. But the tycoon extended the estate, acquiring 250 acres of surrounding land, and developing an orangery with two bedrooms and an indoor swimming pool.

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