London,
(ANI):
Cheryl
Cole
will
no
longer
be
able
to
fulfill
her
dream
of
constructing
an
intimate
swimming
pool
for
herself
and
hubby
Ashley
at
their
home.
Cheryl's
plan
for
an
underground
gym
and
pool
was
foiled
when
a
planning
inspector
turned
down
the
idea,
calling
the
development
'non
essential'.
The
X
Factor
judge
wanted
the
space
to
keep
Peeping
Toms
at
bay.
Cheryl
and
her
footie
hubby
Ashley
are
now
expected
to
go
about
their
construction
plans
above
the
ground
on
the
12
acres
land
around
their
3.5million
pound
home.
The
couple
had
made
the
appeal
against
an
earlier
decision
that
barred
them
from
making
the
complex,
saying
that
aircraft
flying
above
their
home
could
photograph
them
during
'intimate
episodes'.
Papers
submitted
to
planners
mentioned
that
the
pair
had
'suffered
from
a
number
of
incidents,
including
helicopters
with
photographers
flying
over
and
bogus
officials
attempting
to
gain
access'.
The
papers
also
claimed
that
the
grounds
in
the
village
of
Shackleford,
near
Goldalming,
Surrey,
could
be
easily
seen
from
a
public
walkway.
However,
Guildford
Borough
Council
rejected
the
request,
as
the
plan
was
inappropriate
for
the
Green
Belt.
“While
I
note
that
the
occupants
clearly
suffer
a
certain
level
of
intrusion
into
their
private
lives,
I
am
not
satisfied
that
these
facilities
are
essential," the
Daily
Express
quoted
government
planning
inspector
Philippa
Jarvis,
as
saying.
