Stacey Solomon's plan to extend £1.3m Pickle Cottage 'rejected' by council

Stacey Solomon and Joe Swash's plans to extend their lavish £1.2million mansion has been rejected by the council.

The Loose Women panellist and husband Joe reportedly applied for planning permission to build a single-storey extension at their family home, but they were denied. The council rejected their plans as Pickle Cottage dates back to the 16th century and they don't want the building modified.

Documents allegedly show Stacey and Joe initially applied for planning permission in February 2022, but their plea was rejected. The couple's second application was reportedly denied five weeks ago, reports The Sun.

Stacey, 33, and Joe, 41, moved into their mansion in 2021 and the former X-Factor star has spent the last two years tirelessly transforming the property. She frequently shares updates on the renovation on her Instagram account, as well as her many DIY tips for fans.

Stacey has previously showed off their impressive, but unused, home gym as she compared the cobwebbed filled space to Mrs Haversham's home.

Sharing videos of the dusty equipment, Stacey said: “It’s like Mrs Havesham’s house. Nothing has been used in here since Joe bought it. So I’m cleaning it all out. I’m going to try and use it every day. If I don’t for the next month then the whole lot is going to charity. Because it’s such a waste!

"I hate the gym tbh but I hate waste more so maybe this will be good for me.”

She said a “new era” had stated, adding: “Got the last bit of floor to mop then I’m going to try and come in here every morning before the kids wake.

"I honestly can’t let it go to waste anymore. I’d love to be able to stick to something like this but I’ll be honest life is hectic and I’ve never been able to before."
