A TYCOON has told how she won a planning battle after building a cafe, car park and road at her \u00a320million without permission.<\/p>\n
Emma Harrison wept when she heard that she had beaten planners who were demanding she rip down the new developments in a \u201cblatant disregard\u201d for their rules.<\/p>\n Emma, 59, owns Grade II-listed Thornbridge Hall in the Derbyshire Peak District.<\/p>\n She fought against the Peak Park Authority after being slapped with an enforcement notice to remove the cafe, car park and a mile-long road,<\/p>\n With the help of her husband Jim, 63, her family, staff and many members of public she took them on and won.<\/p>\n Speaking exclusively to The Sun Online after her victory Emma said: \u201cWe appealed the council decision and won.<\/p>\n \u201cMy biggest regret is that is cost an eye-watering \u00a3200,000 in fees for planning and legal experts. It\u2019s a disgusting waste of money in that it could have been used for my philanthropy and doing positive things for the estate.<\/p>\n \u201cBut we had incredible and overwhelming support from people, and it is a house for everyone, forever. The community agreed with us \u2013 this place is for the hoi polloi not the posh people.\u201d<\/p>\nMum & daughter left neighbour \u2018living in fear\u2019 after attacking her in row<\/h3>\n
