LOVE split golfer Rory Mcllroy has won his battle to build a huge outdoor swimming pool and play centre at his £9million Surrey mansion.
The luxury pad already boasts a massive 44ft-long party and entertainment room, cinema, gym and indoor pool with spa next to a golf course.
Now he wants to splash out on a 50x16ft outdoor pool and timber climbing frame for three-year-old daughter Poppy after filing for divorce from wife Erica Stoll.
But he landed in hot water with officials at the local council as his home, on an exclusive estate, lies in a designated green belt area with stricter planning laws.
Mcllroy's lavish home also boasts a grand entrance hall, six reception rooms, double aspect drawing room, family room, breakfast room, snug, study and office.
I'm a property expert - my guess for the cheapest time to buy a home this year
Land Registry records show that he and Erica bought the pad for £8.9million in January last year.
The Sun recently revealed that the star spent between £10m and £14m developing the property.
But the world number two has now filed for divorce from Erica, saying the marriage has "irretrievably broken".
Documents filed in the US where the couple lived, showed the four-time major champ and Erica signed a pre-nuptial agreement before they wed in 2017.
They also revealed the couple had agreed to a "shared parental responsibility" for Poppy who was born in Florida.
Mcllroy, worth around £200million, was previously granted planning permission for a dining and utility room extension at his Surrey home, a new roof and internal alterations.
Officials at the local council have now given the go-ahead for the outdoor pool, play centre and 5ft-high water feature wall after there were no objections from neighbours.
Other famous residents who live nearby include footballers Harry Kane and Andriy Shevchenko, former cricketer Kevin Pietersen and fitness guru Joe Wicks.
