DAVID Beckham has been granted planning permission to build an escape tunnel under his £6million Cotswolds pad. And planners say they can also build a wine cellar and extend their garage at the stunning rural retreat.
But the local council is still to decide whether they can construct a two-man security gatehouse at the entrance of the home – close to upmarket Oxfordshire hotel Soho House.
Officials at West Oxfordshire District Council gave the green light to plans to create: “Internal and external alterations to include extension to existing garage with construction of basement wine cellar beneath and link to the main house with the provision of new staircase to ground floor.” Becks and wife Victoria must begin the work within three years.
