Hollywood A-lister George Clooney has been given permission to install 18 CCTV cameras at his £10m listed country home as South Oxfordshire District Council said planning permission could be granted as the CCTV system will not be detrimental to the special architectural and historical interest of the property.
The film star and his lawyer wife Amal want to erect the cameras on poles up to 5 metres high in the grounds of their manor house in Sonning Eye, on the Oxfordshire-Berkshire border. The local parish council initially raised concerns over privacy and the CCTV system’s visual impact.
