Plans for a grand Oxfordshire mansion by Soho House billionaire Ronald Burkle are stirring up controversy in the picturesque village of Little Tew, affecting residents and local history alike.
Burkle's proposal includes an opulent entrance hall inspired by Rome's Pantheon and features like a natural swimming pool and helipad, drawing objections from villagers.
The site may encroach on the remnants of an Iron Age fort, raising concerns from Oxfordshire County Council and local archaeological services about its historical significance.
Little Tew, a hamlet of just 150 homes known for its tranquil charm, faces potential disruption from Burkle's lavish mansion plan, challenging the area's character.
