JAMES Corden has been told he must remove paving slabs from the front garden of his £11.5 million London home after a planning dispute with Camden Council.

The Gavin & Stacey star, 47, paved over part of his front garden to create space for wheelie bins, but neighbours and preservation groups complained the slabs were installed without permission and look “unsightly.”

Critics also claimed the paving reduces biodiversity and harms the character of the conservation area.

Corden submitted a retrospective planning application describing the work as “minor landscaping,” but the council rejected it, saying the paving removed too much green space.

The comedian has reportedly pushed back against the decision, even sending a lengthy letter to the council arguing the changes have not affected the appearance of the property.

Corden moved back to London last year with his wife Julia Carey and their three children after ending his run hosting The Late Late Show in the US.
