James Corden has finally received approval to demolish his 1960s Oxfordshire home after months of delays.
The presenter moved back to the UK with his wife Julia Carey last year and plans to knock down the property and build a six-bedroom mega mansion worth £8 million, with a pool and spa.
James, who recently returned with his family to the capital after finishing his US talk show The Late Late Show, had previously faced objections from the city council and English Heritage over the project.
In January, experts also warned that the nearby area was full of Roman and prehistoric finds, and that archaeological work should be carried out to discover whether there are historic settlements at the site of Corden’s Templecombe House.
To undertake the enormous construction, James will have to comply with dozens of regulations to safeguard local wildlife and trees, according to Sun.
James Corden has finally received approval to demolish his 1960s Oxfordshire home after months of delays.
The presenter moved back to the UK with wife Julia Carey (pictured) last year and plans to knock down the property and build a six-bedroom mega-mansion worth £8million.
The council previously approved the plans, with the note that a number of conditions would have to be met.
Plans for the application show that the vast project will involve the excavation of 4,977 cubic meters of soil, the equivalent of two Olympic swimming pools.
It is believed that James hopes to use most of the land for the driveway and parking area, and his team will work with specialist ecologists to avoid damaging biodiversity.
There are also gardens to keep safe 45 megalithic granite stones on the grounds.
MailOnline has contacted a representative for James Corden for comment.
The star recently sold her Los Angeles mansion to the daughter of a Hong Kong private equity billionaire for $17.1 million, $5 million less than she wanted.
He handed the keys to LeeAnn Akouri-Shan, daughter of Weijian Shan, 69.

The comedian later reduced the asking price to $18 million and quickly caught the attention of Akouri-Shan, who made a cash offer, according to The royal agreement.
The 8,600-square-foot property is located in the exclusive Brentwood neighborhood and has seven bedrooms, eight bathrooms and sits on a nearly half-acre lot.
After purchasing the property from Levitan, comedian and wife Julia Corden, who is an interior designer, undertook major renovations.
The redo was lengthy and reportedly incredibly expensive for the couple who are now expected to return to their native United Kingdom after Corden ended his run as host of the CBS late-night show.
The couple has been married since 2012 and share three children.
Plus, the Cordens will have to shell out and give up an even larger portion of the profits thanks to Los Angeles’ new mansion tax, which taxes sellers with a 5.5 percent tax on sales over $10 million. Dollars.
Akouri-Shan’s new home has been described as “traditional New England” and features many amenities for a private yet luxurious lifestyle.
The house is located behind gates and remains isolated thanks to a hedge in front.
Inside, the sprawling 8,600-square-foot residence includes a living room equipped with fireplace, kitchen-diner with marble countertops and library.
For movie buffs, the house also has a cinema room with capacity for 20 people.
The property also features a large family room that opens to the garden.
A pool, pergola, and private gazebo take pride of place in the backyard, which also features plenty of space for outdoor activities.
Upstairs, the home’s master bedroom has a private balcony, a sitting room, and two bathrooms.

In April, Corden gave a glimpse of his luxurious home in his latest segment of Carpool Karaoke with Adele.
The ‘Chasing Pavements’ singer surprised him by waking him up in his bed.
Adele, with the help of James’ camera crew, walked through the front door and gave fans a peek into her spacious foyer.
The team captured some of the home’s finer details, including its mahogany floors and a dark brown rug leading into the living room.
As the group moves through the house, a dark marble fireplace can be seen in the background along with a pair of French doors leading to the garden.
James had already given a glimpse of his kitchen in other clips on his show, with the room dominated by a huge white marble island.
The walls were covered in white tiles and matching cabinets, while the star added a sleek finish with black countertops.
Since the sale, James returned to the UK with Julia and their three children: Max, 11, Carey, eight, and Charlotte, four.
