Ed Sheeran's Cottage Conversion Sparks Controversy

Ed Sheeran has upset neighbours after getting approval to combine two historic seaside cottages

into one large home. Locals say the village already has a shortage of small family houses,

and turning two 3-bed homes into one 4-bed property only makes it worse. The parish council

also raised concerns about privacy for neighbours. But planning officers approved the project,

saying the area is already meeting housing targets. Sheeran plans to create a “beach

paradise” — adding yet another property to his £70 million real estate portfolio.
