Pop star Ed knocks down his caravan in pool row

-

HIS song about a Lego House took him to No in the charts – but Ed Sheeran’s own building projects have caused him significan­tly more problems.

The pop star, 28, has been embroiled in a row over a water feature on his estate.

Now he has removed a Romany-style caravan ‘changing room’ after being told that the pond can only be used for wildlife, not swimming.

The pond was built on Sheeran’s sprawling Suffolk estate near Framlingha­m in 2017.

But locals raised concerns about the £ 00,000 feature – which is believed to have been installed by Gartenart, a company that specialise­s in wild swimming pools.

A jetty and two sets of steps were added last summer. Council officials found ‘no evidence’ the pool was used for swimming, but advised the caravan needed planning permission.

Sheeran has now removed the caravan and only the concrete foundation­s remain. He has retrospect­ive planning permission for the ladders and jetty.

His 6.3-hectare estate already includes an indoor swimming pool, a four-room treehouse and an ornamental pond.
