Ed Sheeran has reportedly won approval to install \u2018anti-homeless\u2019 railings outside his four-story house in Kensington, despite himself claiming he had \u201cnowhere to live\u201d when he first got his break in the music industry.<\/p>\n

Pedestrian gates and cast-iron railings will soon be surrounding the 27-year-old singer\u2019s converted Victorian house after Kensington and Chelsea Borough Council approved the plan earlier in July, according to the Telegraph.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know whether this is twisted media or whether I need to be ridiculously disappointed in Ed Sheeran rn https:\/\/t.co\/KqA08kweyi<\/a><\/p>\n

Some people forget where they are from. Ed Sheeran was homeless once and now he has been granted planning permission to install anti homeless gates on his \u00a38 million London home. He’s over rated I feel. This is plain nasty.<\/p>\n

Lmao at Ed Sheeran still cashing in on the \u201cI\u2019m just like you, still such a normal bloke, money and fame hasn\u2019t change me\u201d narrative, whilst simultaneously campaigning to get anti homeless security installed around his \u00a38million London home. Fuck off to be honest Ed. pic.twitter.com\/rgYzCVr2OR<\/a><\/p>\n

He is a Somerset Tory who sofa-surfed for inspiration for his 1st album, no empathy for homeless here. Move along. @edsheeran<\/a><\/p>\n

One-in-seven families are homeless in the west London area, according to 24Housing.<\/a><\/p>\n

The news stirred controversy as the singer had described in his 2014 book \u2018A Visual Journey\u2019 how he had experienced rough sleeping in central London.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere was an arch outside Buckingham Palace that has a heating duct and I spent a couple of nights there. That\u2019s where I wrote the song \u2018Homeless,\u2019\u201d<\/em> Sheeran wrote. He later clarified the comments, saying he had never been homeless but that he just \u201cwent without a bed for some nights, that\u2019s it.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Sheeran slammed a previous story by the Sun, claiming he had lodged the planning application to keep homeless away saying the \u201creason was to keep the paps that you employ from being on my doorstep.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
