Pop star Harry Styles gets green-light to build £30m mansion but there’s a bizarre condition - suong

   

HARRY Styles was given the go-ahead yesterday for a £30million mansion — so long as he creates a wildlife haven for great tits, hedgehogs and bats.

The former One Direction heart-throb — worth an estimated £175million — plans to knock two listed properties into one.

But the 31-year-old singer and actor must meet a long list of environmental requirements, including for protected bats and other wildlife.

Bat boxes, insect hotels, hedgehog gateways and log piles must be installed at the house in Hampstead, North London.

If he misses the May start deadline from Barnet council, he must have costly surveys done all over again.

Harry’s mansion plans include a master suite with four dressing rooms, a private lounge, gallery space and indoor patio.

The house is expected to take more than two years to build.

Contractors have promised to keep noise down and work “in a neighbourly fashion”.

Well-heeled neighbours were treated to three preview evenings and raised no objections.

Other stars living in Hampstead include singer Lewis Capaldi, Cat Deeley, Patrick Kielty, and James Corden.
