DAVID Beckham and Victoria Beckham have submitted an application to build an outhouse at Maplewood Barn, near Great Tew.

The outdoor building, which will be used as an office and high-tech vehicle storage space, will be designed to have two open frontage bays and an open roof structure to provide an attractive environment for nesting birds and bats.

Buggies and quad bikes are listed as examples of the vehicles that would be stored if plans go ahead.

The planning application for the Grade-II listed country house is currently ‘under consideration’, however, in the council’s latest correspondence to the couple, regarding the plans, it has been noted that several measures to enhance native species in the area need to be followed.

Conditions of the application moving forward include adding several specific biodiversity enhancements, which include planting at least six different tree species to create ‘native’ hedgerows around the new development.

The development will also need to contain at least one bird and one bat box on the walls of the new building.
