A vegan entrepreneur and her husband have plunged into a planning row with local villagers after applying to build a pool at their 17th-century home which they have rented out for large groups. Ophelia Froud, a former BBC TV producer, and her husband Jolyon submitted plans to build a pool on the boundary with their neighbours' gardens. Parish councillors voted down the plans amid claims that 'pool parties' would disrupt the peace of Burton Bradstock, in the Dorset Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Opponents also questioned why the pool and pool house had to be located on the garden boundary close to other houses. Dorset Council will make the final decision on the plan.
