Neighbours at war over tech tycoon's ‘iceberg' mega-basement
Locals have launched a furious campaign against an UK tech entrepreneur over his plans to build a mega basement under his mansion. Millionaire investor Peter Dubens wants to erect a whopping 7700 sq ft underground leisure complex with saunas, a bar and a luxury cinema, The Sun reports. The tycoon, who founded Oakley capital in 2002, has infuriated neighbours with the 'iceberg' plans. Mr Dubens submitted a planning application to the local council detailing the two year project. Locals and neighbours quickly objected to the 'vanity project' which would take up nearly 50 per cent of the area under Mr Duben's garden. The renovation would take two years to complete and would also feature a wine cellar, an entertainment space and a golf simulator.

Neighbours took issue with everything from the traffic management plan to potential flooding risks. Locals said the last time Mr Dubens had work done to his £10 million ($A20.8 million) mansion it took nearly three years to complete. Claims were also lodged that cars, water pipes and sewage pipes were damaged during the previous renovation works. Six ward councillors have written to the council objecting to the massive planning application, saying the basement development would create an 'iceberg' home. An 'iceberg' home is a residence with more square footage below ground than above. Specific legislation was introduced by the borough to control the development of basements and prevent 'iceberg' homes from being built. Ward councillors also said the plans posed an unacceptable flood risk and would harm the character of the conservation area. Additionally councillors raised concerns about overdevelopment and harm to residential amenity, hazardous construction impact and cumulative harm to sustainability, heritage, and quality of life. One local objection to the application reads: 'The current Construction Traffic Management Plan envisages 10 concrete mixers and 10 skip lorries a week (averaging one every two hours, with a forty minute maximum dwell time) for a period of many months. 'In other words, hundreds of vehicles will be needed to drive up a road which is too narrow to take them.' Another local objection said: 'This is nothing more than one man's appalling vanity project. 'Why does one man need so much? He clearly doesn't care one jot about anyone else, nor the area in which he lives.' The planning application was unearthed by news outlet The Chelsea Citizen. 'We make every effort to listen to the concerns of our neighbours,' a spokesperson for Mr Dubens told The Chelsea Citizen. 'In the event that any development work does take place, it will be undertaken with due care and consideration, and in strict accordance with planning regulations.' The application will be considered for approval by the local council this month. A spokesperson for the local council said: 'All planning applications go to consultation so that anyone can provide feedback. 'The consultation on this application is open until Friday 6 June. 'Officers will review the application and all the feedback after the consultation closes, before making a recommendation.' The Sun contacted Peter Dubens' team for comment. Mr Dubens, who's worth £100 million ($A208 million), made millions in colour changing T-shirts before pivoting into investment. He went on to make more money from the sale of Pipex broadband and invested in Time Out magazine. In 2019 the millionaire set up the Peter Dubens Family Foundation to support good causes, mostly in the UK. Parts of this story first appeared in The Sun and was republished with permission.

Fifty-two years and counting. The title curse won't be broken until Oakley's allowed back in. Stink. Stank. Stunk.' — Kevin Gosman Now that the New York Bricks are gone, Kev, baseball will rule the back page. The Brewers drag an impressive seven-game winning streak to Cincinnati. Aaron Civale rehabbed with the Nashville Sounds after he heard a sound come from his left hammy. Civale has made two uneventful starts since. The Reds' Brady Singer gave up four runs over 12 innings on the road, but is 3-1 at home. Play $50 on the Reds (-110, Caesars).

They scored five runs in the 8th inning and grounded the Redbirds 8-1. We choked (sorry Knick fans) when Jacob deGrom hiccuped a run in the opening frame, but Jake was spotless thereafter. Josh Smith homered and knocked in four runs. Back to back wins have us at -164 peteincaviglias.

Mom-to-Be Packs Hospital Bag, Hysterics over What Dog Does Next
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. After packing her hospital bag, a mom-to-be has shared the adorable item her dog couldn't let her leave without. Before heading to the hospital to welcome her first child, TikTok user @ashleysavv packed her overnight bag in readiness. She included all the essentials for herself and the baby, but as it turns out, there was one item that she very nearly forgot to pack. Luckily, her dog Oakley was on hand to help her out. Indeed, Ashley shared a hilarious video on TikTok of Oakley lying beside the suitcase and looking very proud of his vital addition. As the camera panned over to the luggage, it showed the dog's orange ball wedged into the bag. Oakley certainly couldn't let his owner leave without it, after all. Layered over the video, the caption reads: "packing our hospital bags and seeing he added his ball." Internet users can't cope with Oakley's important contribution to the hospital bag, and the video has gone viral on TikTok. In just a matter of days, it has already amassed more than 935,200 views and over 253,900 likes at the time of writing.

Unaihuiziphotography/Getty Images Newsweek has contacted @ashleysavv via Instagram for comment. We could not verify the details of the video. While it seems that Oakley is already happy to share his toys with the newest addition, there may still be need for an adjustment period following the major life change. The American Kennel Club (AKC) suggests that dogs need mental and physical space to figure out the new dynamic. It's important to take things slowly and have patience. Dogs may be excited about having a new buddy at first, but the novelty can wear off when they realize the baby is noisy and doesn't know how to throw a ball. That's why the AKC recommends creating small moments of success by planning out their encounters and rewarding positive interactions. Dogs should also have a place to call their own, such as a crate or a bed. If the baby gets too much for the pup or they want to retreat somewhere quiet, they need a sanctuary that's just for them. Notably, the AKC says that owners should not expect a finished product from the beginning. Bonds take a while to develop, and a dog needs time to get accustomed to no longer being the only baby of the house. Since the video went viral on TikTok showing that "big brother Oakley is ready" for the new arrival, it has generated over 600 comments already. Internet users can't get enough of his adorable addition to the hospital bag and insisted he was trying to help. One comment reads: "He's looking at the bag like, I'm coming too, right???" Another TikTok user wrote: "he's wishing you good luck with his favorite ball." Another person joked: "he's going with you, and he'll need something to occupy himself with. Obviously." While one commenter added: "Already sharing his toys! Sweet baby!" Do you have funny and adorable videos or pictures of your pet you want to share? We want to see the best ones!
