Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 26 Oct, 17:02 · Archive

Planning permission has been granted for a water storage tank at Beggars Lodge in Great Tew, near Chipping Norton in Oxfordshire. The property was once rumoured in 2018 to be of interest to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, though they have never confirmed plans to purchase it.

Owners John and Fiona Williams submitted a planning application to West Oxfordshire District Council in August for the installation of a 20,000 litre water storage tank. The tank is intended for irrigation of approved tree planting within the wider grounds of the property. Planning officer Nathan Harris has now approved the application.

Meanwhile, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are understood to have moved back to the United Kingdom earlier this summer, settling elsewhere in the Cotswolds region. It is understood their role and status remain unchanged as private individuals and non-working members of the royal family.
