Unhappy homeowners in trendy Chipping Norton have accused celebrities of wrecking their Cotswolds idyll - as they go to battle against plans for 350 new homes.
The country town has become a magnet for tourists after the arrival of high-profile figures such as former Top Gear presenter Jeremy Clarkson, ex-England captain Sir David Beckham, Lord Cameron, Jamie Oliver and Kate Moss.
The portrayal of picturesque rural life in TV show Clarkson's Farm has been highlighted as helping to drive demand for housing while putting a strain on local infrastructure and public services.
A new proposed development involving 350 homes comes close to Clarkson's Diddly Squat Farm and has sparked a backlash from locals saying patience is running thin.
Long-term residents have claimed that while Chipping Norton might suggest the promise of a glamorous lifestyle, the reality of living there can be starkly different.
