Dashwood: Spurs owner's safe house on the market for £28.5m Treetops (pictured), the Highgate home once owned by the billionaire currency trader Joe Lewis, is up for sale, introducing a new neighbour for Poju Zabludowicz, the property and hotels billionaire, and Caprice Holdings tycoon Richard Caring. Lewis paid £400,000 for Treetops in the late 1970s. Now it is on the market for £28.5m, after the present - undisclosed - owner trebled its size to 18,000 sq ft to include ten bedrooms, two swimming pools and a car lift able to accommodate "the largest Rolls Royce Phantom," reports agent Glentree International. Late on Thursday night, the war was finally over, as York Council granted planning approval for the £65m scheme by 13 votes to two. "It's all systems go," said a source at the FTSE 250 housebuilder, which hopes to start work within six months on the "much-needed" housing for the area. But campaigner Charles Jones, who claims the Germany Beck site is the location of the Battle of Fulford - the "forgotten third battle of 1066" - is not giving up without a fight. Jones wants English Heritage to add the site to its battlefields register, even though the conservation body maintains there is "no conclusive evidence" it was the scene of the skirmish between Norway's Harald Hardrada and King Harold II's earls Edwin and Morcar all those years ago. This could be a lone crusade for Jones, Dashwood fears.
