Beyonce and Jay-Z receive planning permission to build 'spectacular rural estate' in the Cotswolds as locals hit out

IT looks like the Cotswolds is becoming the new Hollywood as several stars purchase homes in the picturesque English countryside.

After the Beckham family and Ellen DeGeneres , it’s now being reported that power couple Beyonce and Jay Z are in the final stages of purchasing 58 acres of land on the outskirts of Wiggington.

The pair, who were declared the richest celebrity couple , have reportedly received planning permission to build a “spectacular rural estate” and if they go ahead with the plans, they won’t be far from Great Tew, which is already home to huge names in the showbiz world.

However, after previous backlash from villagers over disturbances by high-profile moves, the jury is out on whether Beyonce , 44, and Jay-Z, 55, will be accepted into the local community.
