ED Sheeran has lost his fight to prevent a neighbour’s garden extension next to his massive £3.7million estate.
The star has blown part of his fortune buying up properties and creating his own ‘Sheeranville’ domain in rural Suffolk.

But he was angry about resident Tony Robinson’s plan to extend his garden by around 50metres by using part of a paddock.
In an objection letter to East Suffolk Council on Ed’s behalf, Paul Smith, director of Apexc Planning Consultants, called the proposal “misleading”.
He wrote: “It would extend the village into the countryside in an unplanned and artificial way, to the detriment of the distinct character of the immediate environs, without reasoned justification.”
But planners disagreed and this week gave Tony the green light to proceed with the works.
He was been given a three-year window to complete the extension and cannot fit any external lighting.
Neighbour Tony said after Ed had written to the council: “I am very disappointed as I formally supported his last planning application to build his chapel in the adjacent field right under my oak tree.”
His application sought to reassure the council that it would have little impact on surrounding properties or the environment.
It said: “It represents no harmful impact upon character, historic environment, and native hedgerows, and the proposed new boundaries will be in keeping and positively enhance both the setting and existing biodiversity.”

Ed has faced a barrage of objections over schemes for his complex of five homes — including swimming pool, two-storey treehouse and pub — close to the Suffolk town he grew up in.
The final home was added last year when he paid £875,000 to buy out next-door neighbour Sharon Jest, who had often objected to his ongoing construction work.
In 2018 she had insisted “enough was enough” when he applied to build a 32ft chapel in the 16-acre grounds.
