Mark Hepburn, 52, has failed in his bid to have a field behind his £800,000 country house in Durley, near Southampton, recognised as his garden.
A Starbucks millionaire is facing orders to dismantle his tennis court and home gym after losing a planning dispute stemming from his wife's alpaca herd. Local residents objected to the "increased urbanization" of the property after he built the structures without planning permission, believing they were permitted. The council rejected his appeal, finding insufficient evidence of continuous agricultural use despite the alpacas.
