Manchester City hero Jack Grealish’s plans to build extension at lavish new home hits major hurdle
JACK Grealish’s plans to build an extension at his lavish new home have hit a snag with wingers.
The Man City and England midfielder has been told to build a roost for bats which have been seen at the property.
He has also been told by wildlife officials that he must put up nesting boxes for birds.
Grealish, 27, has applied for planning permission to build a leisure suite, including cold plunge pool, sauna and steam rooms, at his £5.6million Cheshire mansion.
He is also planning to build a dedicated games room above the garage.
But conservation officer James Baggaley has told planners that an updated bat survey must be carried out first.

England winger Grealish, 27, paid bought the seven-bedroom mansion with 20 acres of land in a secluded part of Cheshire last August.
