Sir Jim Ratcliffe, Manchester United's billionaire owner, has won an 18-month planning battle over a bee factory and tennis court at his £6million holiday home.
The 71-year-old came under fire for accusations he was turning his seven acre waterside property in Hampshire's New Forest into an 'industrial site' after he built two huge barns, a tennis court and a pergola without consent.
He applied for retrospective permission from the planning authority in 2022, which has now been granted - despite objections slamming the project as 'industrialist'.
The billionaire was facing the prospect of having to demolish the sheds.
