Tyson Fury has suffered a fresh setback over his abandoned Cheshire mansion after the local council approved plans for a huge 1,384-space car park to be built just metres from the property. The decision adds to ongoing difficulties surrounding the former boxer's derelict estate, which has become a source of controversy in the area, and raises questions about the future value and use of the site as major infrastructure development moves in around it.

The car park scheme, which will sit in close proximity to Fury's long-vacant property, was given the go-ahead by planning officials despite the site's association with the ex-heavyweight champion. Further specifics on the developer, objections raised, and the exact timeline for construction were not detailed in the available report.
