Prince Charles favourite architect has dealt a blow to a development dubbed a Poundshop Versailles after plans to erect stables and a riding school at a £7million mansion were rejected.
Quinlan Terry CBE - who helped design Prince Charles traditionalist village, Poundbury in Dorset - is among scores of people opposing the swanky Higham Park mansion development in Suffolk.
Apoplectic conservationists fear extension works on the existing property will blight the bucolic countryside famously painted by John Constable, who lived nearby.
But they can now celebrate a small victory in their planning war against Higham Park owners, lawyer Craig Bisson and his wife Nicole.
