Nicole Kidman's privacy threatened

Australian actress Nicole Kidman's secluded 3 million pounds dream home has turned into a nightmare with a 100-room motel ready to be built overlooking her back garden.

The Oscar-winning actress and her musician husband Keith Urban bought the mansion in the picturesque Sutton Forest in New South Wales, Australia, in July. Kidman said that they were unaware of the building plans when they bought it, themirror.co.uk reports.

However, the couple's spokeswoman denied they plan to sell the plot.

Gary Cowan, who co-owns the pub next to the development, said: "If they were looking for privacy, it's not the best place. We can see the place from the pub as it is."

Initial approval for the development of the motel had already been given and a final decision is expected in February.
