'Euridge Manor Weddings is pleased at the grant of preparing permission,' a representative says.

When Robinson purchased Euridge Manor Farm in 1980, it covered 200 acres, with a five-bedroom farmhouse, sheds and three cottages. But the magnate extended the estate, buying 250 acres of surrounding land, and building 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 signed up business Euridge Manor Weddings Incorporated and began hosting ceremonies.
