AceShowbiz - David Beckham and Victoria Adams are bracing for a potential "year of misery" as renovations are set to begin next door to their London home. The local council has approved plans for a major overhaul of the neighboring property, a luxurious mansion located in the exclusive Holland Park area of Kensington, known as "Millionaire's Row."

The new owner intends to renovate all five floors of the pricey mansion, which boasts six bedrooms and an underground swimming pool. Some of the renovations aim to rectify illegal modifications that were made without proper planning permission in 2004, including new kitchens and bedrooms, solar panels, and underfloor heating.

The council required the Beckhams' approval before granting planning permission to the new owner. The couple was advised to discuss the proposals with their neighbors and address any concerns they may have.

The Beckhams themselves have poured millions into renovating their own four-story home, which now features an indoor pool, wine cellar, fashion runway, gym, and at-home nail salon. The couple, who share four children, also owns a farmhouse in the Cotswolds and a penthouse apartment in Miami.

The Beckhams have faced scrutiny over their own renovations in the past. A neighbor complained about the potential impact on the historic character of the neighborhood. However, the Beckhams obtained planning permission and completed a four-year renovation of their property.

The renovations next door could cause significant disruption to the Beckhams' daily life, with noise, dust, and potential traffic congestion. The council has advised the new owner to consult with the neighbors and mitigate any concerns raised.
