Harry Styles is gearing up to break ground on his £30million mega-renovation next month – a project that won’t be completed until late 2027.

The former One Direction singer, right, is combining two luxury homes on a private estate in Hampstead, north London, into one jaw-dropping pad, complete with four bedrooms, gym, cinema, art gallery and staff quarters.

After months of wrangling with planning authorities, thanks to the area’s conservation rules, Harry, 31, got the green light in April.

But work has been delayed due to further ecological surveys and meticulous construction plans. In this part of town, even the paint colour needs council sign-off.

New documents show his team of consultants is hard at work ticking boxes, including delicate negotiations over local wildlife.

One recent survey flagged a feral pigeon nest, fox holes and even bat activity. If bats are found, all work must stop while Harry applies for a special licence from Natural England.

He’s also had to co-ordinate with celebrity neighbour Cat Deeley, who is renovating a property nearby. They have reportedly held meetings and distributed leaflets to ensure neighbours stay on-side and disruption is minimal.

One document states that they will ‘liaise with contractors completing work on other local sites with the aim of pro-actively managing the cumulative impacts of local construction projects’.

The document also promises to ‘co-ordinate activities whenever possible to minimise potential disruption to local residents’.

Noise is a major concern, and the singer has had to be mindful of the loud din made by building machinery. He’s had to fit ‘acoustic enclosures to suppress noisy equipment’.

Styles has also promised to use equipment with electric engines instead of petrol-driven ones.

The whole thing is due to be complete in October 2027… unless unforeseen problems mean the project heads in the wrong direction, that is.
