Ed Sheeran's 'Wildlife Pond' Sparks Renewed Controversy

Neighbors claim the pond, initially approved for nature conservation, is being used as a personal swimming pool.

Sheeran's recent Instagram video shows him diving into the pond, reigniting local tensions.
The pond was approved in 2016 to support wildlife but has faced scrutiny for its recreational use.
Council inspections in 2019 found no planning breaches despite added steps and a jetty.
Sheeran's neighbors accuse him of ignoring the pond's intended purpose, impacting their quality of life.
Other celebrities like David Beckham and Prue Leith also face similar disputes over man-made lakes.
