Dua Lipa’s grand plans to build basement swimming pool and cinema at £6.75m London home

Dua Lipa has landed in hot water with conservationists over her Grand Designs-style plans for a massive makeover of her £6.75million London home including a basement swimming pool – complete with a ‘chill-out area’.

The singer, 26, has submitted plans to build a pool, steam room, shower, changing room and relaxation zone on one side and a cinema, studio waiting area and lobby on the other.

But Dua also wants to demolish a rear extension and build a new one to create a family room with a green roof – which planners at the local council and conservationists have opposed.

As well plans for an extensive renovation, the songstress wants to chop down an ornamental maple and a weeping willow tree and carry out repairs to a traditional boundary wall at the three-storey pad.
