Having fulfilled his dream of a Champions League trophy for Chelsea, Roman Abramovich is on course for a victory elsewhere in the borough.
The National Trust has decided not to object to plans by the Russian tycoon and his girlfriend, Dasha Zhukova, to transform the historic, Grade II* listed property that he bought for £25 million last year. It is part of Lindsey House, of which the charity owns half the freehold.
Abramovich has submitted plans for substantial demolition and massive structural alterations to a section of the nine-bedroom house, which was once the home of Lord Kelvedon, the minister known as Paul Channon in Margaret Thatcher’s government. They include changes to the roofs, a large extension and a huge double basement.
