Strictly Come Dancing winner Bill Bailey has launched a new planning battle to convert two flats into a £2 million home and splash out on a swimming pool.
The comedian, musician and actor wants to carry out the development next door to his existing ground floor flat in a designated conservation area in west London, despite opposition from some neighbours.
Bailey, 57, plans to make a single two bedroom apartment by installing internal stairs to combine separate one bedroom flats on the ground and first floor of a Victorian house.
He wants to add a ground floor extension to form an 'extended living dining space' with white-rendered walls, matching a modern extension on his ground floor property next door, according to council documents.

The plans also include excavating the rear garden to build a pool measuring 6m by 3m with a 'movable rising and lowering deck' matching a surrounding limestone terrace.
Bailey who has appeared as a regular panellist on TV shows such as Have I Got News For You, Never Mind the Buzzcocks and QI also wants to build a below-ground pool filter room, accessed via a landscaped stepped terrace.
A planning application for the project has been submitted to Hammersmith and Fulham Council by him and his wife of 24 years Kristin, a former costume designer who manages his business affairs.
