- Plans also cover bedroom, bathroom and music-room alterations.

## Summary

Simon Cowell has received planning permission to alter the East Wing of his Grade II listed Cotswolds farmhouse, including a large “party barn” for entertaining family and friends. The approval follows a wait of nearly two years and allows changes to a home he bought for £8 million; the decision is notable because the property is listed and the plans have taken a long time to clear.

The application covers internal and external alterations, with the socialising space described as comparable in size to a new-build house. Plans also include changes to a master bedroom suite, bathroom and dressing room, lobby, and music and games room. Cowell lives at the five-bedroom property with his fiancée Lauren Silverman and their family; nearby residents include David and Victoria Beckham, Kate Moss and Princess Beatrice.
