Kelsey Grammer’s ‘abandoned’ cottage draws local complaints

Kelsey Grammer used a permitted development loophole to demolish a 200-year-old UK cottage after blocked extension plans, with neighbors citing neglect and disrepair for four years.

  • Four years ago Kelsey Grammer bought a 200-year-old cottage on the outskirts of Portishead, UK, and was given permission to demolish it despite local complaints.
  • Using a permitted‑development legal route, Kelsey Grammer, US actor, obtained permission to bulldoze the cottage after councillors blocked his conversion plans.
  • Published objections on the North Somerset Council planning portal show neighbours say no work has been done, citing a collapsed wooden shed by the public footpath and cut trees.
  • Following the planned demolition, locals report the house remains unoccupied and `shabby` ten months after permission was granted.
  • Wider attention stems from Kelsey Grammer's US career resurgence with the Frasier reboot, boosting interest in the $1m Portishead property dispute.
