DAHL CAUSES A FUSS IN ENGLISH VILLAGE
Supermodel SOPHIE DAHL has infuriated her neighbours in a small rural vil lage with plans to erect a tall fence around the house she shares with si nger husband JAMIE CULLUM.
The blonde beauty and the jazz musician asked for planning permission t o build a privacy barrier around their $4.5 million (=C2=A33 million) mar ital home in Buckinghamshire, England.
But locals feared the construction would be an eyesore, prompting the r esidents’ association to deny the request.
Instead, the statuesque model has been forced to agree to a fence no hi gher than 4 feet, 6 inches (1.4 meters).
An insider tells Britain’s Mail On Sunday, "Sophie wanted a significant ly taller fence and gate as she doesn=E2=80=99t want people snooping. The problem was, the residents didn=E2=80=99t want it." Neighbours are also concerned about rumours Cullum has built a recordin g studio in the property.
A source adds, "Some of the neighbours are worried that there will be l ots of noise. The houses are all very close to one another and it=E2=80=99 s a very small community. Building work finished almost a year ago but th ey kept up huge fences that had been used to shield the house during the work for months afterwards. Frankly, if Sophie wants privacy she has chos en the wrong house."
