Robbie Williams angers his London neighbours again

Robbie Williams is locked in a fierce battle with his neighbours over fresh plans to build a huge summer house in the back garden of his £17million home.

The 43-year-old singer has angered locals living near his home in Holland Park, west London – including next-door neighbour, Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page. 

Now locals have accused him of secretly trying to build a ‘granny flat’ in his revised plans for a summer house, with one claiming the building will ‘harm’ their living conditions.

Mr Williams has had to withdraw previous plans to upgrade his property because of Mr Page’s concerns. 

However, the legendary guitarist has remained silent over the new plans which show that the ‘large concrete structure’ will measure 6.82m x 5.29m.

The significant difference between the two applications is the old design was almost two metres longer.

It was also planned to be built on stilts and have a staircase – however, this is not the case now. 

The blueprints of the building are the same size as a London studio flat and neighbours claim it will destroy the ‘green leafy’ ambiance.   

The summer house plans were already withdrawn once in May and the second planning application to the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea has displeased residents.

Some are already furious at the constant building work surrounding Williams’ home and he has had 39 planning applications since July 2015. 

Neighbour Peter Gain said it will constitute ‘harm to our living conditions’, but also feared that Williams was secretly trying to build a granny flat rather than a summer house.

He said: ‘I remain concerned about the true intentions of the use of the proposed Summer House. 

‘During previous discussions, it was explained to me that the building would have no windows which would open, no air conditioning units or other pumps and no heating.

‘But it would have a bathroom… and a wash sink… leading me to wonder as to whether this might be used as an additional bedroom, or as a ‘beds in sheds’ arrangement.’

Mr Gain went on to complain and claims the building work will destroy nearby mature trees and was far from in keeping with the ‘green leafy spacious character’ of the Holland Park area.

Neighbour Olivia Band, whose garden backs onto Williams’, ‘strongly objected’ and said it wasn’t ‘appropriate’ or ‘desirable’.

She added: ‘The summer house will be built adjacent to my boundary and I don’t believe that the proposed polished concrete wall and glass structure which I will be forced to look onto is in keeping with a Grade II listed property, nor is it an appropriate or desirable architectural structure for a conservation area.’

Mr and Mrs A Badenoch could not hide their weariness at yet another planning application from the former Take That star.

They said: ‘As is evident from the information made available to us, we are now faced with another application to build a third free standing structure on his property, a ‘Summer House’.’

The couple go onto say that Williams;, wife Ayda Field, and their two children Theodora and Charlton, ‘may have a visually attractive building and landscaped garden to look onto, however the neighbours backing on to the property will look onto a concrete structure.’

Williams bought the exclusive Grade II-listed Melbury House from the late film director Michael Winner back in December 2013. 

Since then, he’s had a running battle with Mr Page, who has repeatedly complained about his neighbour’s planning application for trying to add mod-cons such as a basement indoor swimming pool, gym and music studio and the damage it will do to the foundations of his own ancient property.

He twice complained about the scale of the renovations, calling the application architecturally ‘unfortunate’, and said they could seriously damage his home.

The Stairway to Heaven musician had got his own back on Williams by having roof work done on his swanky Grade II listed pad last year and used a firm with the same name as one of Williams’s biggest hits, Millennium.

Previously, Williams risked the ire of Michael Winner’s widow Geraldine after he knocked down beloved old trees built by the famous film director. 

Now the garden includes vintage limestone paving, completely rebuilt deck terrace and a huge designer BBQ unit.

MailOnline has contacted Mr Williams’ representatives for comment.
