The studio will feature two balconies, two bookcases, a sliding music equipment storage trolley, a toilet, kitchen sink and tea preparation area. Planners at the council gave the superstar, 28, the go-ahead after there were no objections from neighbours. They said: "It is considered that the proposed development by way of its location and proximity to neighbouring properties will not have an adverse impact in terms of overlooking or overshadowing. "It is considered that the proposed development as a result of its location and scale will not have an adverse impact on the character of the landscape." They added: "The proposed development, by way of its scale, design and use of recycled sandstone from the existing farmhouse is considered in keeping with the character of the property. "It is considered that the proposed development, by way of its location, design and use of external materials, will not have an adverse impact on the character of the street scene." Last year, the singer was granted planning permission for a triple garage with an office above. And in 2021 he was given the green light for a rear swimming pool extension with a sauna and spa to boot. Lewis also has a £3million home in leafy Hampstead, London, where he moved in with girlfriend Ellie MacDowell in 2022. Lewis Capaldi hit it hard for a third night at Glastonbury The Sun revealed they split last year and he is now dating Remy O'Brien. Friends revealed their romance ran its course, with the couple struggling to make time for each other. An insider said: 'Lewis and Ellie had some long conversations and decided it was best for them to end things. It was a mutual decision. They are still friends and have been talking, so all is not lost. 'Ellie is still based in Edinburgh and Lewis lives in London so it's been hard for them to see each other. 'It's sad but ultimately Lewis and Ellie had a wonderful time together. It just wasn't to be.' Lewis announced he was taking a step back from music in 2023 after his second album, Broken By Desire To Be Heavenly Sent, hit No1. The record, which I played on loop for weeks, featured No1 singles Wish You The Best, Pointless and Forget Me. He returned to the studio to start working on new songs before Christmas with brothers Connor and Riley McDonough, who helped pen Mimi Webb's Red Flags and John Legend's Wonder Woman.

Lewis Capaldi makes surprise return to stage 2 years after Glastonbury performance
Lewis Capaldi has performed on stage for the first time in two years (Picture: Harry Durrant/ Getty Images) Lewis Capaldi has made a shock return to the stage two years after announcing a break from touring. In 2023 the Scottish singer, 28, announced a halt to touring after his Tourette's flared up while on stage at Glastonbury and he struggled through his performance. At the time he shared a statement on social media that explained: 'The fact that this probably won't come as a surprise doesn't make it any easier to write, but I'm very sorry to let you know I'm going to be taking a break from touring for the foreseeable future.' Last month it was revealed Lewis had been working on new music, but he's now also delighted fans with an unexpected appearance at a charity gig. On Friday night he was a surprise guest at Tom Walker's show for the Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM), which works in suicide prevention, at Assembly Halls in Edinburgh. Following Tom's set – during which fans were banned from filming with their phones – they were told to stay for a surprise, with Lewis then taking to the stage to perform six of his songs, which concluded with Someone You Loved.

Speaking to the BBC after the event, Tom said he was 'delighted' Lewis said yes 'last minute'. 'We've bumped into each other a few times over the years backstage at [festivals] and events and he's a total legend,' he said. 'I know how much pressure this industry can put on artists at times, especially after a bit of a break. 'So, for him to be able to play a little secret gig in a safe space without all the phones, the noise and the expectations was perfect. I'm buzzing to have been a part of it.' A few weeks after his Glastonbury performance, Lewis announced he was taking a break from touring in June 2023. Soon after he cancelled a string of shows, explaining he needed to 'spend much more time getting my mental and physical health in order, so I can keep doing everything I love for a long time to come'. It was revealed last month Lewis had also been working on new music (Picture: David M. Benett/ Getty Images for Universal Music) In a heartfelt statement he also addressed his fans: 'Playing for you every night is all I've ever dreamed of so this has been the most difficult decision of my life. I'll be back as soon as I possibly can.' His second album Broken By Desire To Be Heavenly Sent detailed his battles with anxiety while his Tourette's syndrome was discussed in the Netflix documentary How I'm Feeling Now. He went on to tell The Times that there might come a day when he might have to quit music because of the struggle to control his tics. According to the BBC, Lewis' performance this weekend doesn't mark a planned return to the stage, and he instead wanted to support Calm after previously playing virtual concerts for the organisation during the pandemic.
