Tyson Fury has been dealt a blow after plans for a huge airport car park at the bottom of his garden were given the green light by the local council.

A 1,384-space parking area is set to be built next to the world champion's home in the posh village of Styal.

It's part of Cheshire's 'Golden Triangle', an area that is hugely popular with footballers, soap actors and reality stars including Tyson's brother Tommy and his fiancee Molly-Mae Hague.

Cheshire East Council has given nearby Manchester Airport the thumbs up to build the car park as part of its ten-year, £1.3billion expansion plan, despite objections from four of Fury's neighbours.

The site is a stone's throw from Wilmslow and just 1km from the airport. It is currently 'a series of large derelict horticultural glasshouse buildings', according to planning documents.

It is not clear if Fury was one of those who objected, although the huge lot will back directly on to a parcel of land he owns and has been trying to renovate for years. 

In 2023 he was denied permission to demolish the existing home on the site and build a £4million mansion in its place after bats were found nesting in the loft. The property currently lies empty.

And later that year Fury and his brothers were ordered to pay nearly £100,000 after a judge ruled they owed unpaid business rates over a separate package of land owned by the family across the road being used as a car park.

One of his neighbours who did voice their displeasure about the plans from Manchester Airport wrote: 'This development, as proposed, will have a severe and unacceptable impact on our residential amenity, the character of the area, and the Green Belt.

'Over decades, this site has been slowly transformed from a productive horticultural business into what is now proposed to be a high-density commercial car park.

'We are deeply concerned that this development prioritises airport capacity over the fundamental right of long-standing residents to enjoy their homes without excessive noise, light pollution, and loss of privacy.

'It is also completely contrary to the Net Zero 2050 target and the Climate Change Act 2008 both of which are vital for mitigating against the reduced quality of life of our children and grandchildren.'

Four nearby properties all jointly raised concerns about residents' safety, noise and light pollution, as the car park will be operating 24 hours a day.

'Many of us have lived here for decades. We see ourselves as part of a long-term relationship with the airport. Decisions taken now will shape that relationship for years to come,' said the objection.

Further adding: 'We want to be clear from the outset: we are not opposed to the airport's growth… This current proposal, however, feels qualitatively different - not because development is occurring, but because of its immediate proximity to established homes and the scale of operational impact it may introduce.'

The space is protected Green Belt land and surrounded by wildlife but it was passed by the council's Strategic Planning Board at a meeting last month on July 22 subject to a raft of conditions.

This includes obtaining a European Protected Species licence from Natural England with Great Crested Newts, reptiles, hedgehogs and birds possibly being affected.

Fury and his two brothers John Jr and Shane had been renting out a car park on their land, which landed them in hot water with the courts in 2023.

Their father John Sr said he'd signed the lease agreement with a valet company and his children had done nothing wrong by failing to cough up £82,166 to the council for a car park, which is adjoining to his house.

But the district judge ordered the three brothers to pay the business rates bill plus court costs totalling nearly £100k.

Now Fury is getting a taste of his own medicine with this new car park next to his home.

Fury purchased the eight-bed home in December 2020 for £2.5million, with plans to raze it to the ground and replace it with a six-bed pad complete with swimming pool, sauna, jacuzzi and cinema.

Initially, he wanted to demolish the eight-bedroom dwelling and replace it with a six-bed pad complete with swimming pool, sauna, jacuzzi and cinema. 

However, following a series of run-ins with the council, he was forced to withdraw the application.

Two protected species of bats were found roosting in a loft while birds flocking to his pond and fruit trees were a potential hazard to nearby jets. 

The boxer would have needed a special licence from Natural England before carrying out the work, as it is an offence to intentionally or recklessly disturb the winged creatures of the night. 

And earlier this year, neighbours also sparked concern that the property is at serious risk of flooding if additional plans for an apartment and housing estate directly opposite are approved. 

GR Jones Property Ltd is seeking to build ten four-bedroom detached houses and ten apartments on Fury's country lane – provoking more than ten letters of objection.

One neighbour said: 'The houses either side of the proposed site, already flood regularly. Previous attempts to rectify this problem have not been successful.

'Without the field and pond acting as a natural attenuation tank, this will worsen and the houses on the opposite side of the road will be in danger from flash floods.'

And another complained: 'The risk of flooding in this location is very high, even more so with significant rainfall. On the application, it states that this development won't increase the flood risk elsewhere. This is incorrect!

'This new build would only increase the already big issue of flooding. With climate change, this can only get worse.'

Fury has since relocated to the Isle of Man.

Recent pictures and video show the pad in a perilous state, with the roof caved in on the main house, and it needing a costly overhaul.
