Cate Blanchett ditches building plans on her £5million Cornwall home after neighbours accused her of 'destroying holidays' with 'noisy' renovations


The Aussie actress, 55, and her husband Andrew Upton bought and demolished a cottage in Mawgan Porth in 2020 to make way for their five-bedroom eco-home.

Cate's proposed driveway and car park was to give her and her guests level access into the hilltop pad from the rear, saving them from trekking up flights of steps at the front. In a past statement, her planning agent said: 'The proposed re-development of [the house] and its replacement was driven by the desire to make a more efficient use of this unique site, and to provide a sustainable dwelling that can be enjoyed by the applicant's multi-generational family. Former military medic Emma Keelan, 45, claimed she was forced out of the village after 20 years living there and into temporary accommodation during Covid when her landlord decided to turn the rental property into a holiday let.
