A planning row has erupted over whether a grade I listed manor in Devon can become a “party palace”.
Liquin Peng wants to convert the 10-bedroom Canonteign Manor into a holiday let, but locals fear the change would result in unruly behaviour and “drunken revelry”.
Peng bought the Dartmoor manor in 2015 for £2m to be a “UK base”, but has since spent most of his time in Beijing.
He recently put the house, which was garrisoned by Charles I in 1640 and mentioned in the Domesday Book, on the market for £3.95m.
