Wayne and Coleen Rooney have been accused of turning a picturesque village into a 'footballers' housing estate' as a parish council takes a swipe at the couple's £20million mansion which has been likened to a Morrisons supermarket.
Ollerton with Marthall Parish Council posted a five-minute video onto YouTube centering around a neighbour's bid to build a barn at Ryecroft Farm, next to the Rooney family home in Knutsford, Cheshire.
The council said it was concerned that, once built, the barn would be used as a home rather than for sheep farming as the applicant claimed.
In a video criticising those plans, the council dragged in the Rooneys and their redevelopment of the neighbouring Mount Pleasant Farm.
Without naming the famous couple, the council urged planning authorities to oppose the neighbouring application to 'prevent the conversion of this part of Cheshire into a footballers’ housing estate'.
The six-bedroom mansion Wayne and Coleen had been building since 2017 was still surrounded by cranes and workmen in early 2020 but was completed later that year
