'Britain's biggest man cave' could become a holiday let locals fear after a council approved plans - despite objections of noisy hot tubs and saxophones.<br /><br />Millionaire Graham Wildin, 70, has continuously defied court orders to knock down his illegal 10,000sq/ft leisure complex - and has even served jail time over it.<br /><br />The row has been ongoing since 2014 when Wildin built the man cave with a bowling alley, casino and a cinema at the back of his home - without planning permission.<br /><br />Wildin, of Cinderford, Glos, was even locked up for failing to comply with a court order to decommission the building and has lost a string of other court cases.<br /><br />Now temporary go-ahead has been given for an adjoining house to become a holiday let - despite concerns of noise, parties and parking from neighbours.<br /><br />The six-bedroomed home backs onto the infamous 10,000sq/ft leisure complex and is apparently owned by his family, reports the LDRS.<br /><br />The LDRS reported locals have raised worries over noise, cars blocking access and bin lorries and "not being able to open their windows due to noisy revellers".<br /><br />The plans were submitted for the six double bedroom house at 24 Meendhurst Road, Cinderford and given temporary approval.<br /><br />Paradise Trustees, who the LDRS say is understood to be related to Mr Wildin through family, applied to Forest of Dean District Council.<br /><br />They applied for retrospective permission to change the use of the house into a holiday let. <br /><br />Dozens of locals and Cinderford Town Council objected to the holiday let proposals for the house next door which they say is a ''party house''.<br /><br />They were put before the development management committee on Wednesday, according to the LDRS. <br /><br />The property has created problems for people living on Meendhurst Road and ''creates unwelcome additional noise issues'', they say.<br /><br />The say a ''hot tub is very echoey'' and ''all external socialising takes place in the front garden or primarily on the raised deck area to the front of the property.''<br /><br />Objectors said the home ''attracts large groups'' for ''loud parties and loud music'', which means they have to keep their windows shut, the LDRS reports.<br /><br />During one party one guest kept neighbours awake playing a saxophone, locals told the council when objecting to the plans.<br /><br />Objectors said the property is too big for its proposed use, will devalue their homes and already effects their ''quality of life''.<br /><br />Despite the concerns district council officers recommended approving the plans on a temporary level until January 2026. <br /><br />They said it will allow highway impacts and noise impacts of the use to be appropriately assessed.<br /><br />One local who spoke on behalf of 25 residents said there had been noise complaints and stress caused by parking issues, and bin problems.<br /><br />The LDRS says Ben Pearce, for the applicants, said the holiday let has been used since July 2022 without road issues.
