FOOTBALL legend David Beckham has been slammed by a neighbour over his plans for a giant greenhouse and allotment.

Becks has been granted planning permission for a glasshouse and raised kitchen garden so he and his wife Victoria can grow their own fruit and veg.

And he’s now asked for planning permission to construct another road into his Cotswolds pad while the greenhouse is built.

But a neighbour has objected.

She told West Oxfordshire District Council: “Hi, I object to this because it is a needless use of materials. There is already an access road to the property so what is the point of laying another road just to build a fancy greenhouse? That seems pointless and a waste of resources.”

And he’s asked planners if he can build a new access road to link his rural retreat to an existing farm track away from the original road into his home.

He wants to divert building traffic down the new route and has asked West Oxfordshire District Council for permission to lay a 250 m road.

A planning application to the local council revealed: “This homeowner application seeks planning permission to create a kitchen garden with raised beds, together with a traditional glasshouse.

“The proposed kitchen garden is laid out in a formal style, with raised beds arranged in a symmetrical format around a central path.

“The glasshouse is traditional in style and faces south, overlooking the kitchen garden, framed by fruit trees, and set against the backdrop of a formal hedge and an established mixed native hedge."

It's certainly not the first time Posh and Becks have been embroiled in a planning row with their neighbours.

Back in 2020, the power couple found themselves in a dispute with one of their London acquaintances – with the council even suggesting they meet up to resolve their differences.

David and Victoria won the battle against the neighbour, who bought a property near their posh £31 million townhouse in west London and submitted plans to overhaul it including drastic internal alterations, a slate roof with roof light and a completely new outdoor space.

The application was refused after strong complaints from the famous pair – but the neighbour didn't give up and resubmitted further plans to the council.

The A-listers were worried that the neighbour’s architect was creating a whole new patio area including a balcony on the first floor, which may have overlooked their back garden.

They were also concerned that a new large roof light would be seen from their house and spoil their ambience.

The neighbour then sought pre-planning advice from the council and a Senior Planning Officer.

In a blow to the Beckhams, the council recommended that the new plans were approved, but also suggested mediation.

They said: "I encourage you to discuss your proposals with all neighbours with a boundary with your site, as we will advise them of any application. The proposed rear terrace would not give rise to overlooking to the rear.

"It also appears likely that it would not allow for overlooking of the mews properties either side… in all other respects there are no concerns with the impact of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers in terms of light, sense of enclosure, noise or privacy."
