THE widow of Beatle George Harrison has won planning permission to build an archive at the home they shared for 30 years.

Olivia Harrison will remove temporary storage and utility units at Friar Park and erect new buildings after being given consent by South Oxfordshire District Council, the planning authority.

The development will nclude an archive building for the storage of family papers and objects which are currently stored in “unsuitable conditions” in various places around the estate.

The building would measure 20m by 8m and include accommodation for an archivist.

The council said the development would preserve the character and appearance of the Henley conservation area and the setting of the Grade II listed building and would not detract from the living conditions of adjoining residents nor be prejudicial to highway safety.
