FORMER Spurs manager Harry Redknapp has won a furious planning row over plans to transform his \u00a37 million home into a luxury villa.<\/p>\n
He and wife Sandra bought a seaside property in Sandbanks, Poole, last year and applied for planning permission to bulldoze it.<\/p>\n
\n
\n<\/p>\n
They also lodged plans for a stunning Italianate villa on the plot overlooking Dorset's Poole Harbour.<\/p>\n
But before local council officials could agree to their plans, the couple gave the green light for builders to roll in and flatten the old house.<\/p>\n
It sparked a monumental planning row, with locals fearing the new gaff would have a "detrimental effect" on the area.<\/p>\n
Alison Wheeler, who lives next door, believed the new villa would be too "overpowering", "oppressive" and feared it would have a "major impact on our privacy".<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
There were also fears it was too close to the neighbouring house and make it look like two houses from the road or sea.<\/p>\n
The site also sits in the Sandbanks conservation area and the Sandbanks Neighbourhood Forum had objected to the Redknapps' gaff.<\/p>\n
Amid a backlash, the Redknapps' architect went back to the drawing board and narrowed the width of the villa by 1.7m, and they finally got planning.<\/p>\n
Construction can now start on the three storey, white rendered villa that will have Palladian-style columns and four separate balconies with wrought iron railings.<\/p>\n
