Tyson Fury's Cheshire mansion is set to be located near a newly approved 1,384-space car park, following a decision by Cheshire East Council. The large parking facility, part of Manchester Airport's £1.3 billion, 10-year expansion plan, will be situated on land formerly occupied by horticultural glasshouses, a kilometer from the airport and directly bordering a parcel of land owned by Fury.
Despite objections from four neighbors citing concerns over residential amenity, noise, light pollution, and loss of privacy, the council granted approval on July 22. These objectors noted that the car park, intended for 24-hour operation, would negatively impact their quality of life and run counter to climate change mitigation goals. They expressed that while not opposed to the airport's growth, the proposal's proximity to established homes represented a significant shift in operational impact.
The site is designated as Green Belt land and is home to wildlife, including great crested newts and hedgehogs. The approval is conditional on obtaining a European Protected Species license from Natural England.
Fury purchased the eight-bedroom mansion in Styal, part of Cheshire's 'Golden Triangle,' for £2.5 million in December 2020. He had intended to demolish the existing structure and build a new £4 million residence featuring a swimming pool, sauna, jacuzzi, and cinema. However, these demolition plans were denied in 2023 after bats were discovered nesting in the loft, requiring a special license that had not been secured.
Separately, Fury and his brothers were ordered to pay nearly £100,000 in unpaid business rates and court costs in 2023 for a car park they were renting out on family land. Their father, John Fury, had signed the lease, but the court ruled the brothers were liable for the charges.
Recent reports indicate that the boxer has relocated to the Isle of Man, leaving the Cheshire property unoccupied and in a state of disrepair, with a caved-in roof.
Neighbors have also raised concerns about potential flooding risks related to a separate proposed development of houses and apartments opposite Fury's property, arguing that the removal of a natural pond and field would exacerbate existing flood issues, particularly in light of climate change.
