Simon Le Bon wins battle with neighbours to build pool house at £5million home

Neighbours' Concerns

Duran Duran star Simon Le Bon and wife Yasmin faced objections from neighbours over their plans to build a pool house at their £5million home in south London. Concerns included noisy pool parties and potential flooding.

Approval Granted

Despite the initial opposition, the local council has now given the green light for the construction of a 26x14ft 'garden room' alongside the existing pool. An environmental health officer assured that noise levels would be managed effectively.

Support and Criticism

While some neighbours expressed concerns about the impact on their quality of life, others believed the proposal would enhance the residence. The pool house will be situated a considerable distance from the main house and a newly built cottage.
