Mark Wright and Michelle Keegan are reportedly facing opposition over plans to build a huge wall around their dream home in Essex.

The couple are currently involved in a lengthy building project after after demolishing a £1.3 million farm house to make way for a lavish five-bedroomed mansion.

The dream house will feature a home gym, a bar and an an outdoor swimming pool, but the pair’s plans for extra security have reportedly hit a road block.

It’s described as a “rendered wall” which will be between 1.8 metres and 2.1 metres high.

However, the publication reports the idea has been met with opposition from both Epping Forest District Council and Stanford Rivers Parish Council.

The Mail Online reports the objections focus on a line of trees which would have to be cut down to make way for the new structure and a public right of way, which would be blocked.

“This site is in a very rural area, on a minor country lane,” Epping Forest District Council wrote.

“Whilst we accept that the existing conifer screen could be considered to be incongruous within this setting, to replace it with a 2.1metre high rendered wall would be totally out of keeping, and fail to enhance the rural landscape setting

“None of the other properties on this lane have such inappropriate boundary treatments…”
