The ex-Premier League manager and his wife Sandra have now bought a new £7million home in Dorset, MailOnline says. But planning chiefs have reportedly criticised an application for the six-bedroom detached house with a luxury three-storey villa. They say proposals for the property overlooking Poole Harbour and promising "a traditional Italianate architectural style" are "overwhelming" and "disjointed". Documents suggest Redknapp has been offering compromises, such as removing bedroom windows, lowering the roof and redesigning the front door and boat house. Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council said the preferred material for windows and doors should be timber. But Redknapp's architects Anders Roberts Cheer hit back to say this would be "inappropriate in this exposed location". Harry and Sandra have owned homes in Sandbanks and nearby Poole for at least 26 years, including a seaside property in Poole's Lilliput suburb they bought in 1997 for £500,000 - before later selling it for £2.6million. They paid £3million for a mock-Tudor mansion overlooking the entrance to Sandbanks harbour in 2001, selling it for £6.9million 14 years later and moving to a five-bedroom £4million mansi){kind=link}
