The Beckhams list 'native hedgerows' and 'pin oaks' as part of their Cotswolds ...

The saga of David and Victoria Beckham's Cotswolds re-landscaping efforts continues.

It has been reported that the celebrity pairing are looking to build a 'wildlife corridor' to allow birds, bats and bugs to flourish in the gardens of their £6.15million Grade II-listed country mansion.

In new plans, 'native hedgerows' and 'pin oak trees' have been listed among the proposed species of plantlife that will help create this 'corridor' to nurture wildlife. 

This, however, seems to be yet another chapter in their ongoing back-and-forth with West Oxfordshire District Council, who are said to be stalling granting permission. 

David, 46, and Victoria, 47, reportedly want to erect an outbuilding to store all the machinery to keep their pad's lawns manicured, as well as the equipment to tend to fields they have leased from the nearby estate.

Wildlife experts have waded into the Beckhams' plans over the months, which have also included designs for a lake and a 'barn for bats and birds'.

Due to the plethora of protected species at the site, experts have questioned the distruption that could be caused. 

In an effort to account for the habitats of these animals, football legend David has submitted updated plans and photos detailing how the couple will look after them. 

MailOnline has contacted David and Victoria Beckham's representatives for comment - as well as the West Oxfordshire District Council.

Posh and Becks purchased their countryside abode in December 2016, and an application last month showed a Springwatch-style barn, which will feature 'new roosting and nesting opportunities' for flying mammals.

The Beckhams had to submit a detailed ecological report when applying for permission to build the new outbuilding. 

The report states that 'any new lighting to be introduced should be designed to minimise light spillage and pollution and not directed on to any bird/bat boxes installed'. 

It also asserts that workers will be advised about local wildlife, and installation will also take place outside the bird nesting season, which means building work cannot start until the end of August.

According to reports from The Sun, the former professional footballer and fashion mogul have ensured their barn is ecological in order for it to be approved by the local council. 

A source speaking to the publication said: 'David and Victoria are used to their plans causing a stir with the council but they've taken so much care in all the details for their plans that they are confident it will pass. 

'They've woven ecology into the design of the building and it will have room for nesting birds, as well as bat boxes.  

'It's just annoying they have to wait for decisions like this as it slows everything down, but that comes with the territory.' 

In May, the couple revealed their plans for the barn, when they submitted the plans to West Oxfordshire District Council.

Plans show the couple want a large 'machinery' shed at their £6 million bolthole on the
