Ellen DeGeneres Has Already 'Clashed' With Her British Neighbors Over Extension on $18 Million Home Just Weeks After Quitting U.S.
Briefly

Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi are encountering issues with their new British neighbors regarding construction plans for an $18 million farmhouse they purchased in the Cotswolds. The controversy arises from objections raised by local councillors about potential risks, including increased flooding and disturbances to Roman remains. While residents have expressed concern about the hedge and wire fence exacerbating flooding risks, council officials have defended the construction as compliant with standards, assuring that significant Roman artifacts are not nearby. DeGeneres and de Rossi's move has thus become contentious due to these planning clashes.
DeGeneres and de Rossi's building project faced scrutiny over concerns of increased flood risk and potential disturbance of historic Roman remains in their new Cotswolds home.
Local residents and councillors expressed worry about how the comedians' construction might affect the village's flood risk and the preservation of any historical artifacts.
Despite opposition, council officials stand by the completed work, noting that it met high standards and was situated far from any significant Roman remains.
In response to the neighbors' objections, council documents emphasize that the homeowners are responsible for reporting any discovered historic remains on their property.
