Neighbours in posh Highgate complained the rocker’s application would 'create a most unfortunate precedent'
LIAM Gallagher has had plans for a new swimming pool approved at his posh £4million mansion despite his neighbours trying to block the build.
The Oasis singer, 51, upset local residents after seeking permission to install a pool, plus high-security wall and gates, at his home in plush Highgate, North London.

The Highgate Society complained the rocker’s application would “create a most unfortunate precedent” and claimed they could be “seriously affected by any ground water diversion”.
But now the Britpop legend will be feeling Supersonic after planning permission to install the new pool was finally approved by Haringey Council.
Liam has been given the green light to go ahead with the garden project, which will also include a patio, pool plant and air source heat pump.
The singer’s roughly 24ft by 12ft swimming pool will come with a cover system and feature “bullnosed edge” detail, with “buff natural stone steps”, according to plans submitted to the council.

Development plans also include a new gravel drive and natural stone paving, as well as luxury Hadley Rose Barcelona furniture - including daybeds, loungers and outdoor seating, with a single outdoor chair costing upwards of £2,000.
Liam will also splash out on new fencing, a boundary wall, pebble border and a premium Gozney Dome Pizza Oven, which retails at £1,800.
The development must begin within three years, Haringey Council said in their decision notice, and is expected to follow planning conditions.
The plans were listed under the name of his fiancee, Debbie Gwyther, who he moved in with earlier this year.

Father-of-three Liam owns the £4m mock Tudor mansion in Highgate and also rents a £16,950 a month Victorian pile in the Cotswolds.
In May last year, the musician, who was resting from a double hip replacement, reportedly butted heads with his neighbouring residents over some overhanging trees at his rural residence.
Liam had been forced to pay to have the trees cut back but, as they are under a preservation order, but the process hasn’t been straightforward. The singer-songwriter had to apply to the council before he gave the trees the chop.
