A timber tycoon branded Vernon Kay a Northern nimby after a court wrangle about a bungalow the BBC star objects to.
Ian Caldwell, 62, had the wooden bungalow built in 2014. It houses his site manager and family.
Objectors included Radio 2 host Vernon Kay, 49, and wife Tess Daly, 54, who live 300 yards from the site.
Buckinghamshire Council ordered the £80,000 home demolished, citing a lack of planning permission.
In February a government planning inspector backed the decision. But Mr Caldwell and his firm Timberstore Ltd argued that the bungalow had stood for more than four years without prosecution.
Under the “four-year rule, it should be tolerated", he said. Mr Justice Lane yesterday allowed a full High Court appeal.
Posters labelling Bolton-born Kay a Northern nimby have been seen near the site.
And asked about his celebrity neighbours outside court, Mr Caldwell said yesterday: “I call them Northern nimbies”.
