Jason Statham's Estate Faces Planning Scrutiny

Jason Statham and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley are facing planning challenges for their £20m Hampshire estate. They have applied for a certificate to transform a summerhouse into residential quarters. The summerhouse was initially approved as a swimming-pool pavilion, but has been used as guest accommodation since 2012.

The New Forest National Park Authority is assessing their application. The summerhouse is part of Statham's 20-acre English coastal estate, purchased in 2024 for about £20m.

A 1973 planning rule has put the two-storey summerhouse under scrutiny over its use as guest accommodation. The authority is currently evaluating the appropriateness of the couple's application.
