Ed Sheeran dives into row over his 'natural pool': Star goes for a dip in specially installed pond at his £3.7m Suffolk home - despite telling disgruntled neighbours he WOULDN'T swim in it<br /><br />Ed Sheeran has risked reigniting a bitter feud with his neighbours after he filmed himself leaping into his 'wildlife pond' on his £3.7million Suffolk estate.<br /><br />The Shape of You singer can be seen on Instagram leaping into the kidney-shaped pool, which was built at his home in 2017 originally on the condition it was not for recreational activities.<br /><br />Sheeran, 33, claimed the pond was aimed at championing wildlife and built to 'support nature conservation'. <br /><br />He later won an appeal which allowed him to swim in the pond, but not before it had sparked a furious backlash from neighbours, who feared it would promote a 'wild lifestyle' instead.<br /><br />To settle the dispute Suffolk Coastal District Council was sent to investigate the pond – which is in the middle of a field – in 2019. Inspectors found there was 'no evidence' it was being used as a swimming pool. It later allowed an appeal, permitting the pond to be used for recreational activities.<br /><br />In an Instagram video released this week, the star was seen jumping into the pond wearing just his swimming shorts, which risks infuriating the neighbours who objected.<br /><br />https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-13764465/Ed-Sheeran-pond-daily-routine-neighbours-complained.html
