Arron Banks has won a planning battle against residents he described as 'bleeding her liberals' and 'rich soft Tories
The 'bad boy of Brexit' Arron Banks has won a battle against 'bleeding heart liberals' and 'rich soft Tories' who tried to block his plans for six £1million luxury homes.
New drawings were submitted to Bath and North East Somerset Council and the revised plans were approved last week after criticism from residents halted the development.
The Leave.EU campaigner is the director of a development company which plans to build six luxury homes in Bath, Somerset.
Construction began a year ago but was suddenly halted in December when the contractor went into administration. Residents then objected to the buildings, claiming some were bigger than the plans stated and others were in the wrong position.
Banks angered people in the Georgian city when they voted remain in the 2016 referendum. He tweeted a link to the result with the words: 'Bath is full of bleeding heart liberals & rich soft Tories!'
The houses being built by Old Down Ltd, of which Banks is a director, are expected to sell for around £1million when they finally hit the market.
Locals had previously complained about the works as they felt it would alter the landscape of the area
Original plans submitted by Mr Banks were approved by the local council in 2015 and new drawings were approved just last month
The first round of plans which were first submitted in March 2018 which show the area of land to be built on
They will each come with a large garage and have been pitched to Londoners as a 'very good deal' and 'ideal for commuters'.
Angela Whitfield has lived in one of the homes overlooking the site in Batheaston since 1985.
She did not object to the original scheme but claimed that it was not being built as specified.
Work had stopped just months into the project which will see six luxury homes sold to Londoners for more than £1million each
'When they started building, it's not what was on the plans,' she said.
'The garages are too high and in the wrong place. [They've also] changed the position of the houses by as much as 90 degrees.'
Ward councillor Lin Patterson (Green Party, Lambridge) did object, writing: 'I object to this application. It has made unauthorised changes to the structures and positioning of the buildings.
Plans from 2018 also show the plans for the flow systems close to the properties
'It now is highly intrusive to nearby residents. It is unsafe due to flood risk. It is likely to be unstable due to ground springs. The exterior finish is incongruous.'
Planning agent Winsor and Leaman Architects has been contacted for comment.
Permission for plans submitted by A Banks was granted in 2015 but construction only began in March, days before it was due to expire.
Banks' Bristol-based property investment company Old Down Ltd submitted amended plans which include changing the stone brickwork to Scandinavian redwood cladding.
Bath and North East Somerset Council's landscape team had raised concerns about its impact on nearby trees.
Bricklayers left the site, on land beside Avon Rugby Football Club, in November after their firm Helm Construction went into administration.
In its response, the B&NES Council landscape team also raised concerns about the amended plans.
Mr Banks was last year reported to the National Crime Agency on suspicion of making illegal donations in the Brexit battle.
He insists the £6million he ploughed into Leave.EU campaign was 'generated from cash and businesses in the UK'.
On February 1, the UK Information Commissioner's Office said it fined Leave.eu and Eldon Insurance, in which Banks owns a large stake, £120,000 for breaches of electronic marketing laws.
Leave.eu had used the details of Eldon customers unlawfully to send almost 300,000 political marketing messages, the office said.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
