Formula One heiress Petra Ecclestone drives neighbours mad - Telegraph

Petra Ecclestone was forced to drop plans to demolish a 200-year-old lodge after outraged neighbours accused her of being responsible for “Botox” architecture. Now, the daughter of the Formula One boss Bernie Ecclestone has upset the Chelsea crowd with her renovations.

“The noise is a nightmare at eight every morning, on the dot, and Saturday mornings as well,” says Isla Baring, the daughter of the Australian impresario Sir Frank Tait. “They are drilling down three or four blocks. They will probably hit the Thames.”

She tells Mandrake that the previous owner of the Grade II-listed house, the JCB boss Sir Anthony Bamford, had invited neighbours to see his plans for the property when he wanted to renovate it, but she heard nothing from Ecclestone.
