Noel Gallagher's new £11.5million mansion is in need of repairs already - as the Oasis guitarist bids for permission to fix problems such as a leaky roof and rising damp.
His Grade II-listed property in north London needs a refit due to issues including 'structural movement', according to council planning documents.
The five-level home Gallagher bought last year was previously extensively altered and split into flats before an ex-owner converted it into one single home.
According to documents now submitted to Westminster Council, there is 'significant structural movement', 'water ingress from roof level', 'rising damp at lower levels', 'deterioration of roof covering' and 'previous unsympathetic alterations'.
Gallagher, 59, has had to tear out fixtures and fittings from all rooms - including seven bedrooms - which are now empty shells with no luxury wallpaper or flooring.
His proposed home changes would include a new gym, sauna, cinema room and basement bar.
He has been given the green light by council planners for some of the renovations replacing or repairing issues like-for-like.
But he has yet to gain permission for proposed renovations such as replacing the windows with double-glazed sash and changing the back extension's roof and doors.
He also wants an interlinking building to be converted into a one-bed guest suite.
His submitted documents state: 'Construction waste will be minimised through careful deconstruction rather than demolition, allowing materials that cannot be reused on site to be separated and recycled where possible.
'The careful repair, reuse and upgrading of the existing building fabric represents the most sustainable approach to development, extending the life of the historic structure while reducing embodied carbon and construction waste.
'Improvements to environmental performance will be achieved through conservation-style slimline double-glazed windows, improved draught-proofing, roof insulation, efficient building services and the use of durable, natural materials wherever possible.' (x)
