The ruler of Dubai is set to build a personal six-storey super car park in London for his fleet of more than 114 luxury motors and five-star accommodation for chauffeurs and staff

It is being built by the billionaire emir of Dubai, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, one of the world’s richest men.

The car park will be built next to Battersea heliport by the River Thames, allowing him and his associates including his 23 children to arrive in the capital by helicopter and jump straight into whichever luxury car they like.

But neighbors are worried their road will be spoilt by the estimated 120 cars arriving and departing each day.

The Sheikh, who is also vice president and prime minister of the United Arab Emirates, has business interests including the Godolphin horseracing stables and the Jumeirah luxury hotel group.

His super car park will have two basement floors and six above ground, to include offices, bathrooms and three triple-bedroom flats for the drivers.

Though the site is already used for storing cars, angry neighbours are opposed to the car park being built, with one writing: ‘Mendip Road has become the personal fiefdom of the drivers who work from the current car storage facility.’

Another, Jane Helm, 52, said: ‘This sounds like another example of an enormously wealthy foreigner making big plans without thinking much about local people who just want to live in peace, Daily Mail reports.

Mannars and personality of Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum is a same as other UAE Sheikh.

According to human rights organizations, the UAE is violating a number of fundamental practices. For example, the UAE does not have democratically-elected institutions and citizens do not have the right to change their government or to form political parties. There are reports of forced disappearances in the UAE, many foreign nationals and Emirati citizens have been abducted by the UAE government and illegally detained in undisclosed locations, according to Arab Organisation for Human Rights, November 2014.
