Coleen Rooney has seen off a bid to build 15 new homes overlooking her sprawling 5million neo-Georgian palace after saying the development would ruin the village.

She complained to planning bosses saying the development - which included five affordable homes - would damage the special landscape around the mansion she shares with Wayne in Cheshire.

But the WAG has been accused of hypocrisy after she bulldozed the original 1930s Prestbury mansion and replaced it with 'Waynesor Castle' - complete with pink-interior swimming pool.

She was backed by almost 60 neighbours, including former Manchester United defender Wes Brown's wife Leanne and ex-Slade rocker Noddy Holder's wife Suzan.
