Former Premier League manager Harry Redknapp is reportedly at war with the city council after knocking down his old villa.
Redknapp has knocked down his previous house, which cost £7 million. He's now keen on building a new property. He's planning to transform a new house, but his plans haven't gone down well with the authority.
The house is massive and has four balconies, a massive entrance, a kitchen, a living and dining room, among other amenities.
However, the authorities are reportedly unhappy with the proposed planning as they claim that the planning documents show that it resembles an Italian house, according to The Sun.
Redknapp reportedly has been offering compromises like removing windows and lowering roofs. The authorities want the materials of doors and windows to be timber, which Redknapp's architects don't support.
Neighbours of Harry Redknapp's new house have also voiced their displeasure, with one telling (via The Sun):
“The proposed building is overpowering. I fear it would feel oppressive. The quiet enjoyment of our garden would be seriously impacted by the windows in the new south-west wing.
"The addition of several ground and first-floor windows... would have a major impact on our privacy. It would create shadow in the morning and significantly reduce the light on the south-eastern aspect of our house.”
Another local resident said:
“The proposed development... does not seem to respect the 'spacing between plots'.”
