Adele: Ill see next door rolling in the deep
The superstar Rolling In The Deep singer paid 2million for the house which has stunning beach views out the back.
But just before she completed the deal on the Brighton property last month, a millionaire neighbour made a planning application for an extension including a plunge pool which would overlook her.
And it would mean she could have to see her neighbour in his Speedos as he enjoys splashing about.
The addition if permission is granted would also include two balconies and decking.
A property source said: This would be a nightmare for Adele. It may be she didnt even know about it but I wouldnt want to pay 2million then see a neighbours pool built outside my window.
The decking would affect the line of sight from the house which Adele plans to share with boyfriend Simon Konecki meaning her view would be interfered with.
The source added: The big factor in these properties is the uninterrupted 180-degree view owners have from the rear. Id imagine shes pretty annoyed.
If Adele had pulled out of the house purchase on discovering the application, she would still have been liable for a huge bill.
Other celebs who live in the area include Zoe Ball and hubby Norman Cook, David Walliams and Heather Mills.
