«Breaking News» Work halts on Brexit and Ukip backer Arron Banks' six luxury homes

Construction has been halted on luxury properties being developed by the self-titled 'Bad Boy of Brexit', Arron Banks. 

The billionaire UKIP and Brexit donor has hit a stumbling block on his project in the West Country amid complaints from residents and the local council. 

The six homes, expected to fetch an estimated £1million each, are marketed at City workers and were granted approval in 2015. 

But amended plans submitted by his Bristol-based property investment company Old Down Ltd are facing opposition from nearby residents and Bath and North East Somerset Council's landscape environment team. 

Work has halted on Brexit and Ukip backer Arron Banks' six luxury homes in Bath amid complaints from locals and Green campaigners

Arron Banks' entry into the Bath housing market seems to be on hold. Work has stopped just months into the project which will see six luxury homes sold to Londoners for more than £1million each

The six homes, each with four bedrooms and garages, are set to be built on the site of a former nursery and have been marketed to Londoners as a 'very good deal' and 'ideal for commuters'. 

But the new application seeks to change the position of the houses and garages, and it has been criticised by a Green Party councillor.

Lin Patterson, ward councillor for nearby Larkhall, wrote: 'I object to this application. 

It has made unauthorised changes to the structures and positioning of the buildings.

'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. Please consider this in committee.'

Construction did not begin until March of this year, days before the planning approval granted in February 2015 was due to expire. 

Mr Banks was recently reported to the National Crime Agency on suspicion of making illegal donations in the Brexit battle.

Original plans submitted by Mr Banks were approved by the local council in 2015. Amended plans for all six properties have been submitted by his Bristol-based property investment company Old Down Ltd. However, they face opposition from nearby residents and Bath and North East Somerset Council's landscape environment team

He insists the £6million he ploughed into Leave.EU campaign was 'generated from cash and businesses in the UK'.

Police are looking at the case after investigations by the Electoral Commission. Mr Banks insisted the saga was a 'misunderstanding' about a 'holding company' he owns called Rock Holdings based on the Isle of Man.

He said the money he loaned Leave.EU during the referendum came from the UK-based firm Rock Services, which Mr Banks said insures thousands of people in Britain.

Mr Banks has not been arrested and has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing, including claims the money came from Russia.  

Mr Banks has been contacted for comment. 

What is Arron Banks accused of?

Arron Banks is accused of financing loans to Leave.EU and the parent company Better for the Company from illegal sources.  

The Electoral Commission's review said that, as well as having reasonable grounds to suspect he was not the true source of the cash, loans involved a company, Rock Holdings, based on the Isle of Man. This is banned under the rules.

While the Electoral Commission does not name Russia or any other possible source of the money, Mr Banks has repeatedly denied a link to the Kremlin. 

The watchdog said it suspected Mr Banks, Ms Bilney and others involved the campaign to have concealed the true details of the financial transactions.

It believes a number of criminal offences may have been committed and passed it to the National Crime Agency. It said its investigation relates to suspected electoral law offences.

The six h...

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.
