Chelsea Star Cole Palmer's Gym Plans Spark Neighbour Dispute
Chelsea's midfielder Cole Palmer finds himself embroiled in a dispute with neighbours over his proposed plans to build a gym in his mansion's garden near the Blues' training ground in Surrey. The potential new build has stirred opposition from a neighbour, citing concerns over privacy and noise.
Chelsea's star player Cole Palmer has been caught up in a row with his neighbours over potential plans to build a gym in his home. The England international has been hoping to add an outside gym to his garden in the mansion he lives in near the Blues' training ground in Surrey, but will face opposition from a neighbour who is reportedly unhappy with the supposed new build plans. Palmer wanted to build a detached gym at the bottom of his garden which will measure 36 by 16 foot and be 11 foot high, according to the Sun. The proposed building is set to be built at the end of the footballer’s garden and this has irritated the Chelsea talisman's neighbour.As per the report, the neighbour has written to the local council and objects to the new gym on the basis that it will reduce privacy and will create noise.“The proposed building is right up against our border which will involve removing two mature trees which will mean we are no longer screened from the house it belongs to,” they said.The neighbours have asked that the new gym be built closer to Palmer’s house, rather than their own. The council are set to make their decision over the dispute in March.This disagreement comes amid Palmer’s resurgence on the pitch. The England midfielder has been struggling with managing an injury throughout this campaign and his involvement has been limited. Palmer was able to showcase what the Blues have been missing and what new boss Liam Rosenior could rely upon in the future in midweek. The former Manchester City man returned to the pitch from the bench against Napoli and helped turn defeat into victory and ensure the Blues earned a top eight spot in the Champions League.Palmer has been the Blues’ best player since switching from Manchester to west London and Rosenior will hope that he can keep his star man fit and firing as he navigates a tricky start to management in the Premier League.Looking for smarter football bets?
