Geri Halliwell and Christian Horner are installing beefed-up gates at the land adjoining their Grade II-listed mansion - after sparking fury with their neighbours over plans to build a second swimming pool next to the village graveyard.
The Spice Girl, 52, and F1 Red Bull boss, 51, have applied to shift their current boundary back from the road and install stone posts on either side, replacing the current timber set-up.
The high-flying pair say the move at their Northamptonshire pad is to provide a 'waiting bay' in the recessed entry for agricultural land - which they hope will help with safety for larger agricultural and equestrian vehicles.
In May 2023 the globe-trotting couple had their first horse-racing win, with a steed named after the Spice Girls' 1999 No 1 single - Two Become Won.
And over the last year they have gone from success to success - Lift Me Up, again named after one of the pop star's songs, galloped on resolutely to pocket the £2,053.20 prize at the Hunters' Chase last week.
The new design will replace the current wooden gate posts with cut stone piers, complete with iron finials. The wall leading to the gates will be cut ironstone and the gates will be made of oak.
It comes after the Horners sparked fury among their rural community when they embarked on a planning war to replace their 18th century kitchen garden with an open-air swimming pool.
