Robbie scraps plans for huge summer house

MY TAlE of neighbours’ fury over Robbie Williams’s plans to build an enormous summer house appears to have struck a chord. The pop star has scrapped proposals for the ‘whimsical’ retreat in the garden of his £17.5 million West london mansion.

Robbie, 43, withdrew his application after I reported this week that neighbours said the ‘visually obtrusive’ hut, measuring up to 12ft 9in tall, would overshadow their homes and ‘increase a sense of enclosure’.

last month, Robbie’s builders were fined £ 4,670 after they admitted breaching noise restrictions through ‘intermittent banging’ while working at his house on a Sunday.
