Harry Redknapp has lodged fresh planning proposals to knock down his £1.5million property in Dorset, and construct an expansive five-bedroom residence in its place.
The 78-year-old former Premier League manager submitted the application via his company, Pierfront Developments, to Bournemouth Council.
The proposed mansion in Poole would feature five en-suite bedrooms, a separate garage, and a pool house.
Amenities within the pool house would include a sauna, steam room, hot tub and bar area.

According to the planning submission, replacing the existing 1970s white rendered dwelling would represent "a significant improvement to the character and appearance of the site".
This latest submission follows two unsuccessful attempts by Redknapp to develop the site with a pair of properties intended for sale.
Both applications, lodged in 2023 and 2024, were turned down by the local authority.
Subsequent appeals were also dismissed.

He is seeking permission for a single dwelling rather than the dual-property scheme that previously drew opposition.

The Branksome Park & Canford Cliffs Residents Association has previously strongly opposed Redknapp's development ambitions for the site.

|The group accused the former I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! winner of attempting to "compromise the Conservation Area's integrity" with his earlier proposals.
In response to a previous application, a spokesman for the association stated: "The design still aims to split the site, increasing the density of the plot, with a modern palette of materials, which are not in keeping with the surroundings nor compliant with the sustainable agenda set out in the Local Plan."
Neighbours had also described the proposed houses as "overbearing and dominant".
Bournemouth Council is anticipated to deliver its verdict on the latest proposal early in the new year.
