The couple’s revised plans for their $5.35 million Ohio mansion, including 10-foot privacy shrubs, received unanimous approval despite concerns from local residents.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have secured approval for landscaping plans at their $5.35 million lakefront mansion in Bratenahl, Ohio, despite objections from several neighbours.

The village’s Architectural Review Board unanimously approved the couple’s revised proposals during a meeting at the Bratenahl Community Centre on Tuesday, according to Page Six.

The plans include 10-foot shrubs to provide privacy and updated brickwork. However, some residents questioned the landscaping choices, with concerns raised about their impact on local wildlife.

Resident Lucy Weller urged the couple’s team to consider native plant species and designs that support local animals. Another neighbour, Chuck Bauernschmidt, criticised the proposed changes, saying he felt “bad for the village”.

However, other residents defended the celebrity couple, arguing that the community should welcome them rather than object to their privacy arrangements.

Taylor and Kelce did not attend the meeting. They were represented by their property manager Patrick Hyland, architect Derek Kuryla and project manager Jacob Kutz.

The approval follows an earlier decision in September allowing a six-foot privacy fence at the property.

The couple purchased the eight-bedroom, 11-bathroom mansion in March. Swift and the Kansas City Chiefs tight end married in July.

According to Page Six, the Ohio property will not serve as their primary residence. Swift also owns homes in Rhode Island, Beverly Hills, Nashville and New York City.
