A neighbour of Sir David and Lady Victoria Beckham has compared plans to install pond lighting at the couple’s Cotswolds home to the Blackpool illuminations.
Former England captain Sir David and Spice Girl-turned-fashion designer Lady Victoria plan to install the festooned lighting around the pond at their home in Great Tew near Chipping Norton.
But those living nearby have raised concerns about the impact it will have on light pollution, wildlife and the surrounding area.
One neighbour, James Worthington, said in a comment on the Beckhams’ planning application the plans were “more akin to Miami or Florida not Great Tew”.
