THE man at the centre of a long-running planning row at South Littleton, near Evesham, Nicholas Parker-Jervis, has died.
He was taken to hospital in Worcester after he was found ill at home and died a few days later, on April 30, at the Alexandra Hospital, Redditch.
He was in dispute with Wychavon District Council over the restoration of South Littleton Manor, a listed house which the council alleged he had allowed to fall into disrepair.
The most recent council decision was to take action to ensure repairs to the Grade II* listed house where retired businessman Mr Parker-Jervis, aged 75, had lived for 30 years.
Ian Marshall, head of legal services at Wychavon, said the department had been in dialogue with Mrs Parker-Jervis, who lives in Cheltenham, and it seemed likely there would be good co-operation.
The funeral takes place at Cheltenham Crematorium at noon on Monday, May 12.
