Robbie Williams plans to quit LA to move back to the UK
Robbie Williams is selling his £8.3 million mansion in Los Angeles to move back to the UK.
The 42-year-old singer, who currently resides in Los Angeles with his wife Ayda Field and their two children – daughter Theodora ‘Teddy’ Rose, three, and one-year-old son Charlton – is leaving Beverley Hills and returning to live in Britain as soon as work is complete on his Grade II home in west London.
Ayda is expected to make the UK her permanent base from autumn, according to the London Evening Standard newspaper.
Meanwhile, Robbie – who bought a £17.5 million home in London’s prestigious Holland Park from late director Michael Winner’s estate in 2013 – angered his neighbour Jimmy Page after submitting plans to refurbish his home by adding a recording studio, part-filling a pool and creating a new window that will look out over the Led Zeppelin star’s garden.
But the 71-year-old guitarist complained to Kensington and Chelsea Council that the revamp could become an eyesore in the street.
Jimmy said he was "extremely concerned" about the ‘Candy’ hitmaker’s proposal and even feared the build could damage his own Grade 1 listed home through subsidence.
But in July last year, Robbie won his planning battle and was granted permission to renovate it.
The relocation will see him leave behind his acre of Los Angeles land that has views of the San Fernando Valley, seven bedrooms, and a recording studio off the master suite where the ‘Rock DJ’ hitmaker writes songs.
Meanwhile, Robbie has also been at war with his parish council over a fence near his £9 million home in Wiltshire.
The parish council objected because it would "adversely affect the visual amenity" of Compton Bassett church across the road.
Parish Council chairman Pete Szczesiak said: "The parish council objected to the plans for the fencing because they are not in keeping with the surrounding area.
"We have advised Wiltshire Council and the plans have not been decided yet. It has now gone to them. We felt the fencing was too high for the neighbouring church."
