Tyson Fury‘s neighbours have claimed his home is at serious risk of flooding if developers are allowed to build an ‘eyesore’ apartment block and housing estate directly opposite.
The new plans have provoked anger from residents in the posh village, part of the trendy ‘Cheshire Triangle’, which is swarming with footballers and soap stars.
Neighbours are in uproar over the GR Jones Property Ltd bid to build ten four-bedroom detached houses and ten apartments on Fury’s country lane, which is a stone’s throw away from Manchester Airport.
It has provoked more than ten letters of objection – including ones from the parish council and flood authority – with some complaining that it will guarantee flooding for the ex-world champion.
Fury’s next-door neighbour raged: ‘The houses either side of the proposed site, already flood regularly. Previous attempts to rectify this problem have not been successful.
‘Without the field and pond acting as a natural attenuation tank, this will worsen and the houses on the opposite side of the road will be in danger from flash floods.’
Another complained: ‘The risk of flooding in this location is very high, even more so with significant rainfall. On the application, it states that this development won’t increase the flood risk elsewhere. This is incorrect!
‘This new build would only increase the already big issue of flooding. With climate change, this can only get worse.’

Locals – who also include Fury’s dad John and members of his extended family – pointed out that no one wants to live in the countryside overlooking this ‘eyesore’.
They said: ‘It is incredibly unfair to the people who already live next to this site. A three-storey apartment block is going to tower over their homes, blocking out their natural light and completely ruining their privacy.’
With another continuing: ‘It will be a complete eyesore for everyone who lives on or uses the lane, replacing green space with a dense, urban-looking estate.’
Fury, 37, purchased the property in December 2020, which is close to his brother Tommy Fury and girlfriend Molly Mae Hague.
Initially, he wanted to demolish the eight-bedroom dwelling and replace it with a six-bed pad complete with swimming pool, sauna, jacuzzi and cinema.
After a series of run-ins with Cheshire East Council, he was forced to withdraw the application and water down plans to keep the current abode plus build three extensions and a basement.
Nevertheless, Fury has left the property to rot. Recent pictures and video show the pad in a perilous state, with the roof caved in on the main house, and the estate in need of a costly overhaul.
Fury’s street and surrounding area has numerous houses worth £2 million-plus, but is blighted by car parking businesses due to its proximity to the airport – and the Furys are one of the biggest culprits.
Fury and his two brothers John Jnr and Shane had been renting out a car park on their land, which landed them in hot water with the courts in 2023.
Dad John said he’d signed the lease agreement with a valet company and his children had done nothing wrong by failing to cough up £82,166 to Cheshire East Council for a car park, which is adjoining to his house.
But the district judge ordered the three brothers to pay the business rates bill plus court costs totalling nearly £100k.

Numerous locals struck out at such car parks in this pending planning application and claimed some are illegal.
One neighbour said: ‘The traffic situation on Moss Lane is already an absolute nightmare. The road is constantly used by taxis and people doing unauthorised airport parking, and because of this, the road surface is crumbling and full of potholes.
‘Crucially, there are absolutely no pavements and no street lighting down here.’
‘The lane is heavily impacted by airport-related activity, including numerous airport parking operations and associated shuttle vehicles,’ chimed another.
Others mention the damage to local wildlife, especially protected Great Crested Newts, which has already been affected by the car parks.
Fury had failed to win permission to knock down the house after bats were found roosting in a loft while birds flocking to his pond and fruit trees were a potential hazard to nearby jets.
He was already having to apply for a special license from Natural England as a protected bat species had been detected around the home.
Another council department wanted him to move his proposed pad – for the sake of an oak tree.
One objector pointed out: ‘There is a lot of wildlife in the area, some that are protected. For example, Great Crested Newts, bats and badgers. All of which, we see regularly in this area.
‘Not to mention all the additional wildlife such as owls, rabbits, ducks, voles, frogs and many more that live in this location.
‘There has already been significant disruption to wildlife habitats in the vicinity with the constant extension of airport car parking facilities and the addition of commercial properties and their regular excavation – particularly in the immediate vicinity.’
