Ron Burkle's proposal for a mansion in Little Tew has faced significant backlash from local residents, with over 30 objections citing concerns over its design and suitability for the area.
Burkle, whose fortune comes from founding The Yucaipa Companies and acquiring Soho House, aims to create a home inspired by 'English Baroque style,' but planners have previously rejected his development plans.
Despite revisions, the vastness of the proposed property—including amenities like a swimming pool and a lake—has led one critic to describe it as 'more suited to Disneyland' than a rural village.
The planning documents emphasize Burkle's intention to incorporate sustainable features, like solar panels, while also facing hurdles from council officials who demand a more outstanding development to approve.
