East Sussex planning news now, and Paul McCartney will be allowed to keep a wildlife viewing pavilion at his country home despite the fact he built it without planning permission, although a wooden lodge he had built at the same time will have to go. Rother District Council originally said both the pavilion and lodge must be demolished, but following an appeal by the ex-Beatle local planning officials have offered a deal whereby the pavilion can stay providing Macca knocks down his lodge - something the singer actually agreed to do last month. The deal brings to an end a long running dispute over the additions McCartney made to his estate, additions he claimed were designed to ensure his family's privacy (which presumably isn't needed any more, given that all of the Macca family's affairs should come out as his nasty divorce from Heather Mills works its ways through the courts).
