Another interesting aspect to the whole shady deal is that it appears that Mr Woods had already drawn up the legal agreement for Mrs Kenny to sign and thus leading her to relinquish any claim against the properties.

This move led to Nicholas Kenny’s own solicitor to remark that a substantial claim must have already existed against Mr Woods which is why he pursued so ruthlessly his own aim of getting Mr Kenny’s  widow to sign a deal on his terms. Nicholas Kenny has doggedly pursued justice for his family in the face of injunctions and legal threats and has tried to enlist the help of MPs to help his case.

At one point, there was meant to be an adjournment debate speech in the House of Commons which would have given the details in full – under legal protection – of Mr Woods’ extraordinary behaviour but there was not enough time for the debate to be heard.

Nicholas Kenny says: “Mr Woods believes he is untouchable and comfortable in a win-win situation. My family has effectively been defrauded out of millions of pounds and there is, seemingly, little I can do about it.

“There is no way to legal redress because Mr Woods has everything legally tied up but his practices and behaviour are nothing short of deplorable and the more that people know about him and his business ways, the better.”

He added: “The truth must come out and the record put straight.”

The Powerhouse is likely to be sold to Bellway Homes to build 75 houses.

The site is worth around £1m per acre which gives a sale price of between £7-8m and that doesn’t include the another 10 acres on the site. The deal means that Mr Woods stands to make a cool £6m in profit which is £3m more than he is morally entitled to.
