George Michael's £10m London mansion 'gets modern makeover' after his sister was granted planning permission despite protests from locals


Yioda Panayiotou, who is the Wham ! star's only living sibling, was given ownership of the property following the singer's tragic death on Christmas Day 2016 at the age of 53.

There was outrage when Yioda's design team asked the local council to remove a number of historic trees, and the bitter row hasn't deterred the her from updating the property. Now, pictures obtained by The Sun show the scaffolding from the main house has been removed, revealing a brand new roof complete with solar panels, fresh doors, windows, decking, and one of the garages is being turned into living quarters. 'The proposal's size and much increased footprint together with the loss of trees and green space sets an undesirable precedent for future development which will have an adverse impact on the area and is out of keeping with surrounding improvements to local buildings.
