A wealthy landowner who spent millions building his own pirate island only to be told it could be bulldozed has finally been GRANTED planning permission. James Challis, 29, heir to a quarrying and haulage fortune, created 60-acre 'Challis Island' on a lake owned by his family. The fantasy village, which looks like a set from Pirates of the Caribbean, has a working pub, guest house, boat dock and waterfall. Family sources said Mr Challis built the island in tribute to his late grandfather and family business founder John Dickerson who bought the site in the 1970s. Video courtesy of masterwishmakers.com
