FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda

They have a large castle, numerous outbuildings and 1,200 acres that they could build on.
However, the millionaire Dent-Brocklehurst family are planning to put up a new barn only a few yards from someone else’s home, leading to accusations that they are being ‘unneighbourly’.
The family have submitted plans for a concrete construction with a corrugated iron roof within the grounds of – but not within sight of – their home, Sudeley Castle, where their friend Elizabeth Hurley married her now ex husband Arun Nayar in 2007.

The barn will stand opposite a large £1million house which currently enjoys spectacular panoramic Cotswolds views.
The scheme is said to have been
grudgingly approved by Tewkesbury Borough Council planning committee
because there were no legal grounds to refuse it.
However some have questioned why the barn had to be so close – about 40 feet – to a nearby home.
The Sudeley Castle estate, owned by
Henry Dent-Brocklehurst, his sister Mollie and their American mother
Lady Ashcombe, says the new building would be used to store agricultural
equipment.
Tory councillor Rob Vines said he felt the neighbour was getting ‘a raw deal over the matter from a visual point of view’.
He added: ‘There was an unco-operative
and unneighbourly aspect to this application, though we can’t refuse it
in planning terms.’
Fellow Tory councillor Ron Allen
wondered why the castle could not set up the barn elsewhere because it
had plenty of land on which to do so.
Committee chairman John Evetts said they could suggest that the barn be put elsewhere but could not insist on it.
The historic Sudeley Castle was once the home of Henry VIII’s last wife Katherine Parr
Since 1997 the family has sparked a series of controversies with proposals to move footpaths and develop new tourist attractions in the grounds
According to the planning application, the barn will replace an old farm building which was on the same site.
Residents of Sudeley Castle could not
be contacted yesterday, and the occupant of the house affected by their
plans was not available to comment.
It is far from the first time that the
Dent-Brocklehurst family has upset councillors and locals with
developments on the estate, which was once home to Katherine Parr, the
last wife of Henry VIII.
Since 1997 the family has provoked a
series of controversies with proposals to move footpaths and develop new
tourist attractions in the grounds.
The castle, near Winchcombe, is open
to the public and costs Lady Ashcombe, 69, Henry, 45, and Mollie, 43, an
estimated £1.5million to run each year.

When many rooms were closed to viewing
for the family’s private use, the estate suffered a downturn in
business which saw annual losses of £100,000.
To rectify the situation,
the family applied to convert a barn and cow stalls into residential
accommodation so they could move out of the castle, although it is not
known if the plan was carried out.
Lady Ashcombe inherited the estate
when her first husband, Mark Dent-Brocklehurst, the stockbroker father
of Henry and Mollie, died aged 40 in 1972.
Sudeley is ten miles from the village
of Cowley, where a row has erupted over a partially built house branded
an ‘ugly cowshed’ by angry residents because of its light-coloured walls
and shiny metallic roof.
The family, who are good friends of Liz Hurley, have submitted plans for a concrete construction with a corrugated iron roof within the grounds

Perhaps the council could consider building an eyesore right outside the entry gate to this castle?

Why bring Liz Hurley into the story of them falling out with their neighbours?

New money has been allowed to purchase our heritage without any real appreciation of it.

I don’t think having a barn close to a house in a rural area (OK, Winchcombe is a small town but Sudeley Castle is on it’s outskits) is such a bad thing.. Just having a house bordering Sudeley land probably greatly increases it’s value.. I’m sure the barn will be well hidden as Sudeley Castle is MAGICAL.. as a former Winchcomber I will RECOMMEND the property that is complaining without even seeing it, BARN or NO BARN because again – Sudeley is SPECIAL, Tudor Roses..
