David and Victoria Beckham facing new neighbour row with plans to turn barn at £12m Cotswolds mansion into offices

David and Victoria Beckham are facing a new row with their neighbours as they want to turn a barn in their garden into offices.

The famous couple are already at loggerheads with locals over plans to build a greenhouse at their £12m Cotswolds home.

But now, new plans from David and Victoria's representatives are asking for permission to create three separate office spaces in the building, plus a bathroom.

And the workspaces will be accessed by an external wooden staircase.

The barn is in the grounds of their country retreat in Oxfordshire.

Becks currently keeps his gardening equipment in the barn.

He has just been granted planning permission by the local council to build a kitchen garden and greenhouse in the grounds of his home.

But a separate application to create a new road to his property has angered local people who have accused him of beginning the work before being given the green light by officials.

It's caused several neighbours to write letters of complaint to  the council, with one furious letter saying: “I believe, as do many in the surrounding area suggest, the applicants want a longer drive into their property, rather than the short drive from the lane they currently use to have access to their property, this may because the public have access all the way down this lane because it is a public road.

“I have been speaking to people in the business of supplying greenhouses in the United Kingdom all have said this greenhouse could be erected within a period of 2/3 months at the most.

“Why do the applicants require a temporary construct on access for 2 years on a public footpath?

"I am always amazed at those who come to live in the countryside and then want to bring in suburbia, they are not content to live in a natural country environment."

The Beckham's rep has been contacted for comment.
