Tyson Fury gets green light for multi-million pound Grand Designs-style renovation after planning row
HEAVYWEIGHT champ Tyson Fury has been given the green light to extensively renovate his new Grand Designs-style pad.
The Gypsy King bought the eight-bed mansion in Cheshire last year for an unknown price.
He then applied to have it demolished in order to replace it with a modern mansion complete with a new pool.
But a nature report spotted two species of bats nesting in the property’s loft meaning Fury would have have had to secure a special licence.
This would have involved putting bat boxes in nearby trees for the common and soprano pipistrelles, but the 34-year-old changed tack.
Fury then reapplied to extensively modernise the dilapidated building and outhouses, which are currently in place.
The home needs a big overhaul as Google Maps currently shows it looking like a dumping ground for used cars.
Waste and scrubland on the plot is strewn with litter.
Tyson and wife Paris plan to renovate the basement, add on two side extensions and an eight-metre rear extension.
Meanwhile a new building will house a four-car garage, swimming pool and other ‘leisure facilities’ including a hot tub.
And the basement will feature a music room, games room, garden room and home cinema.
In a design statement, Fury’s planning agent said the facilities were “incidental to the enjoyment of the dwelling house”.
The Furys, a family of eight, currently live in a £1.7 million mansion in Morecambe.
But the new Styal house is closer to brother Tommy and Love Island girlfriend Molly-Mae Hague, who live nearby in a £3.5m mansion with new baby Bambi.
