Pippa Middleton ordered to bulldoze ‘eyesore’ car park after locals objected

  • Pippa Middleton and her husband James Matthews have been ordered to remove an unapproved car park built on their Berkshire estate.
  • West Berkshire Council dismissed an appeal by the couple for retrospective planning permission on the Barton Court site.
  • Planning officials ruled that the development was visually intrusive and failed to conserve the scenic beauty of the Wessex Downs.
  • Local residents had strongly objected to the car park, citing biodiversity impacts, flooding risks, and road safety issues.
  • The rejection of the appeal means the original ruling stands, requiring the couple to dismantle the parking facility.
