For months, Robbie Williams has been locked in a battle with his neighbours – including Jimmy Page, for work being carried out on his property without the correct consent.

 

The ex-Take That singer bought the house for £17.5million in 2013. His plans to modify the home require the approval of Kensington and Chelsea Council. According to reports, despite the rejection of his Construction Traffic and Management Plan, work has been carried out on the property with dozens of builders spotted entering the building for as long as a month.

 

This prompted Jimmy Page’s architect to contact the council. Andrew Townsend wrote: "I understand works commenced sometime ago and I would be grateful if you could confirm this does not contravene the conditions of consent for application no PP/15/01845."

 

A spokesperson for the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea said yesterday that they are now looking into whether any conditions have been breached.

 

He said: "Planning permission and listed building consent exist for works.

 

"These consents followed a long process of negotiation in which the extent of preparatory work that could be carried out without requiring listed building consent or planning permission was also discussed.

 

"Planning officers will be investigating to establish whether any works have taken place that exceed the acceptable extent of preparatory work."
