First look at David Beckham's plush £6m Oxfordshire mansion

POSH and Becks may be off to a tricky start with the neighbours.

The famous pair have been accused of 'making a mockery' of the planning process by applying for permission for a tree house at their Oxfordshire farmhouse, despite it already being built.

David and Victoria Beckham bought the grand barn conversion in Great Tew, near Chipping Norton, for £6,150,000 in December 2016.

The home, which comprises three Grade II listed barns linked in an E-shaped pattern, looks to be nearing completion but an outstanding application for a treehouse has caused something of a stir in the area.

Responding to the planning application online, resident David Holland said: "I feel it makes a mockery of the planning procedure and a waste of time asking for comments on a structure that is already completed.

"Normal folk would be made to take this down and apply for permission using the proper procedure."

The Beckhams have since been granted retrospective planning permission.

Great Tew parish clerk, Sarah Holland, added as the official response from the parish council: "As far as this application is concerned, the tree house is built and has been for at least two weeks.

"I am unsure what use any comments regarding it would do seeing as it's already there."

The Beckham's home is situated along an unnamed road near Soho Farmhouse, an exclusive celebrity club which boasts visitors like Prince Harry and Meghan Markle as well as the Beckhams themselves.

The estate will also include a two-tier garden containing an orchard with 23 different types of tree.

Other plans recently approved by West Oxfordshire District Council include a ‘natural swimming pool’, garden pergola and thatched outbuilding roofs.

It is understood football legend David, 42, will live in the home with his wife, former Spice Girl Victoria, 43, and their children Brooklyn, 18, Romeo, 15, Cruz, 12, and six-year-old Harper.
