Singer Ed Sheeran has appealed against a decision to refuse “incongruous” parking plans at his countryside home.<\/p>\n
Suffolk Coastal District Council turned down plans for a 1.5-storey “cart lodge” for housing vehicles at the pop star’s house near Framlingham in July.<\/p>\n
It said the proposed building did not “recognise the countryside’s intrinsic character and beauty”.<\/p>\n
Sheeran is appealing against the decision on the grounds an original cart lodge on the site was demolished.<\/p>\n
In the appeal document, first reported in the East Anglian Daily Times, Sheeran’s agent Laurie McGee said: “With the loss of the original cart lodge to make way for the swimming pool extension, the homeowner requires a cart lodge to replace it.”<\/p>\n
He said the planned grey slate cart lodge would be at the end of a private driveway and out of view from the road and surrounding buildings.<\/p>\n
It was originally turned down by the district council which said it would be “an incongruous feature in the countryside”.<\/p>\n
The planning authority has advised the planning inspectorate to dismiss the appeal.<\/p>\n
It maintained it would cause “considerable harm” and “present a creeping domestication” to the surrounding area.<\/p>\n
