David and Victoria Beckham are facing renewed opposition from neighbours over proposed changes to their Cotswolds estate. The couple has submitted a planning application to West Oxfordshire District Council seeking permission to plant 79 trees and create a wildflower meadow on the grounds of their property.
The application, submitted in February 2026, is the latest in a series of modifications the Beckhams have sought for their £6 million country home. Previous landscaping and renovation plans have also drawn objections from local residents in the past.
According to the council's planning portal, the proposal includes planting native species like oak, beech, and hawthorn. The stated aim is to enhance biodiversity and the natural landscape. However, some neighbours have reportedly raised concerns, continuing a pattern of disputes over the estate's development.
The planning authority is currently reviewing the application, with a decision expected in the coming months. The case highlights ongoing tensions between high-profile homeowners and local communities in sought-after rural areas like the Cotswolds.
