Ronnie Wood told to paint over bright pink front door at London home

  • Rolling Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood has reportedly been ordered by Westminster Council to repaint the bright pink front door of his Maida Vale home.
  • The council rejected retrospective planning permission for the door, stating that its "incongruous" colour harms the appearance of the listed property within a conservation area.
  • Wood, who painted the door pink years ago after moving into the £7m property, was reportedly told to paint it a "neutral tone", such as black.
  • A neighbour, Angela Allen, shared a similar experience, having been threatened with a £30,000 fine if she did not repaint her blue door.
  • A council spokesperson confirmed that changes affecting the historic character of listed buildings in the area may require consent, and residents can submit applications for formal consideration.
