    Ed Sheeran might seem like Mr. Nice Guy, but his neighbors say he only "does what he wants"

    The endless fights between neighbors go deep even when planetary-famous artists are involved.

    Even if you are Ed Sheeran, you can't swim on a hot day in your pond.

    Ed Sheeran's neighbors have described the singer's so-called wildlife pond as 'a sham' after he filmed himself leaping into it for a swim. The pond should be created to develop wildlife in the area, not for people to swim in it, even if they are so famous - Ed's neighbors claim. (according to the report from dailymail.co.uk)

    One angry villager accused the Shape Of You star of 'taking the mick' after advising council officials that his water feature was a wildlife pond rather than a swimming pool. Sheeran had been granted consent to excavate the pond in the center of a field that he planted with trees on his £ 3.7 million estate in Suffolk. (source: dailymail.co.uk)

    Ed Sheeran applied for permission to build the large kidney-shaped structure in 2016 but was met with concerns from neighbors. Sheeran was later successful in removing the ban on swimming and other leisure activities in and around the pond, after arguing it was unreasonable and unnecessary.

    But some of his neighbors have now been upset by him posting a video on Instagram showing him jumping off the jetty and swimming in the pond. (as written by the dailymail.co.uk)

    A neighbor said he had become fed up with Sheeran developing his land, and particularly turning a former arable field into his piece of woodland. He said: 'It has ruined our life up here. We used to have farmland round us. It's one of the worst things for us.'

    'He has people around, and there's screaming and shouting over there. He even had a blinking security guard patrolling our perimeter with a generator going at night. We bought this house because this was where we wanted to retire, but we didn't want to retire to this.'

    Another neighbour said: 'The swimming pool is not that noisy, and it doesn't happen that often – but it is not supposed to be a swimming pool. They can just say it is a wildlife pond and people sometimes swim in it.' (source: dailymail.co.uk)


    Another neighbour who had initially expressed concern about Sheeran's pond told MailOnline that he had since changed his mind and had no problem with it.

    Mr Robinson said: 'I couldn't care less. He has done a lot to his property and he's calmed down. I have absolutely nothing more to say. We are fine with him. He's built his lovely chapel next to our field, and I supported that. I have no qualms at all with him anymore.' (according to the source: dailymail.co.uk)
