A millionaire fashion mogul is looking to plant over 1,000 trees to block views of a tennis court and skate park that he planning to take down.

Sean Thomas, founder of fashion chain, White Stuff, has made a new planning application for the change at his home in South Ham in Devon, in the UK after a previous application was rejected by the court.

Previously an enforcement team was ordered to start legal action to return to it former condition.

Thomas built the court, skate park, plus a two storey garage, at his home without planning permission.

Planning officers said that the additions were an unwelcoming and incongruous intrusion into an undeveloped countryside location.

His latest application includes planting over 1,000 new native trees, as well as a bird box, bat roost and the planting of wild flowers throughout the estate.

Thomas said that he will work with South Hams District Council to work on any concerns raised”.
