Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi's extension to 15m Cotswold home faces inquiry from locals
Briefly

Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi have encountered significant pushback from locals after undertaking unauthorized renovations on their recently purchased £15 million farmhouse in the Cotswolds. The construction, which includes a single-storey extension and new fencing, has raised alarms about possible damage to nearby Roman remains and flooding risks. Although the couple did not seek formal planning permission, local council representatives stated that the Roman remains are located far enough away to exempt the renovation from needing approval, despite the community's concerns about environmental impacts and the importance of historical preservation.
This issue has sparked concerns among local residents about the potential flooding risk due to the unauthorized extensions and changes to Ellen's new home.
Despite paying £2.5 million over the asking price for their £15 million farmhouse, renovations have raised complaints regarding planning permissions and historical preservation.
