Kate Moss in planning row over neighbour’s house plans

Kate Moss has been embroiled in a planning row with her neighbours in a swanky Cotswolds village.

Concerns have been raised by the 51-year-old supermodel over her neighbour’s plans to install a new garden.

Moss lives in a £2.5 million ($A5 million) countryside mansion in Little Faringdon, Oxfordshire, where locals say they have been fighting with a sewage system that is no longer fit for purpose, The Sun reports.

The Environment Agency said the dated system is regularly overwhelmed by surface and foul water.

It is because of the sewage system that Kate Moss has blocked her neighbours’ planned construction project.

The supermodel reportedly fears the plans would increase pressure on the already struggling sewage system.

Mary Oakes submitted plans to West Oxfordshire District Council to build an outbuilding, which would feature an office, gym and bathroom.

Documents detail plans to erect the structure behind Mary’s already standing house along with a single and two-storey rear extension to the main house.

Mary bought her own property for £1 million ($A 2 million) in 2004, the same year Moss bought hers.

Shortly after moving into the farmhouse supermodel Moss married rock star Jamie Hince in 2011.

The wedding ceremony was held at St Peter’s Church in Southrop, Gloucestershire, near the property purchased by the model in 2004.

After the pair tied the knot a huge, festival-themed party at her estate in Little Faringdon, Oxfordshire, was held for celebrity guests – leading to road closures.

On behalf of the supermodel, representatives penned an objection to the most recent plans submitted by her neighbour.

It reads: “I have no comment regarding the proposed house extension. However, there is an objection to the proposed garden room.

“The proposed building has a bathroom. The means of foul drainage is unclear.”

According to the objection, Mary’s plans are also harmful to the “rural character of the village.”

Boundary trees and hedges included in the proposal could damage the “root structure” of existing landscaping, the objection stated.

In the wake of the objections the garden room has now been removed from the plans.

The village, home to a meagre 30 properties, is prone to flooding, according to the Environment Agency.

Pauline Rushton and Andrew Sumner, who also live in the village, told The Telegraph: “The existing infrastructure is not in place for the existing village and certainly not for any expansion.”

Moss is no stranger to sewage issues around her home, having suffered through similar experiences in her North London home.

At her former property in the capital, the pump in her basement is said to have failed, causing the home to flood with wastewater.

At the time it was reported that the supermodel was facing down a bill of £100,000 ($A200,000) to replace her outside deck, plus kitchen units, furniture and flooring.

The Sun has contacted Kate Moss’s representatives for comment.
