## Key points

- Council orders removal of the unauthorised car park.
- The 400-square-metre site was for anglers.
- Neighbours objected to its impact on the rural landscape.

## Summary

Pippa Middleton and James Matthews have been ordered to remove a car park built on their Berkshire estate without planning permission. West Berkshire Council refused their retrospective application, finding that the development harmed the area’s rural character.

The 400-square-metre hard-standing area was intended for anglers using fishing rights along the River Kennet, which the couple said help fund the estate’s upkeep. Neighbours said they had not been consulted, while planners also raised concerns about the lack of measures to protect the river. The dispute follows a separate local challenge over public access to Mill Lane, which runs through the estate.
