A millionaire couple have lost their battle to rebuild a £4million riverside home after a planning inspector ruled the ultra-bright mansion would ruin the night sky in one of Britain's darkest locations.
Software boss Chris Hoyle and his wife Elaine had submitted plans to build the huge avant-garde property on the water's edge at the famous Beaulieu River.
The Hampshire river has one of the darkest skies in Britain according to official data and is afforded the 'highest status of protection' as it's within a National Park.
