Glamour model Jordan is at the centre of a legal row because her frontage is too big and needs planning permission.

Part of the problem, which is causing much hilarity among council officers, surrounds two large, shining globes.

The 25-year-old I'm a Celebrity ... Get Me Out of Here! contestant, best known for her surgically-enhanced breasts, is in trouble for installing a new security entrance at her £360,000 Poynings house without permission.

Jordan, whose real name is Katie Price, erected an 8ft-high security gate and gate posts, complete with the spherical lanterns but the development is preventing her from selling her home.

Planning officials have decided the development is too obtrusive and have issued an enforcement notice demanding the whole structure be demolished.

A planning officer at Mid Sussex District Council said: "One of the elements of the enforcement issue was it had these illuminated spheres. Some people refer to them as globes."

The security entrance replaced a much smaller gate and villagers were upset because it was so imposing. One vandal vented his anger by smashing the globes, which have now been removed.

The planning official said: "If someone puts up a fence or gate like that adjacent to the highway it cannot be more than a metre high.

"We asked Katie Price to submit an application for it. An incomplete application was submitted on her behalf and the only way we could resolve the matter was by issuing an enforcement notice. It came into effect on November 19 with a compliance date set at one month.

"She was entitled to an appeal, which was registered on her behalf and is currently with the planning inspectorate."

He said Jordan had now submitted an application for a five-bar gate, the type found in country fields, which was now being considered.

Jordan moved out last year after reportedly becoming fed up with stalkers, photographers and fans camped on her doorstep.

She threw a New Year's house-warming party at her new £750,000 country mansion in Maresfield, where the gardens stretch to 13 acres, including a tennis court and plenty of room for her horses.

But she cannot sell the Poynings house until the planning issue is resolved.
