BONO wants to chop down trees in his back yard to make way for aprivate recording studio.
The U2 frontman wants the hideaway even though he has already submitted plans for a massive studio in Dublin’s Docklands.
The singer, 47, and his wife Ali have applied to Dun Laoghaire Rathdown County Council to build a “small performance study” beside his Killiney home.
But the campaigner’s green credentials have been called into question by the application.
Bono and Ali are also seeking permission to build a gardener’s shelter.
Liam Brophy, of CMB Design Group, submitted the plans for Temple Hill on Vico Road on behalf of the celebrity couple.
Mr Brophy said: “The trees were planted by the owners 20 years ago. In order to facilitate the temporary structure, a number of trees will be removed.
“Only the less mature trees will be removed.” The deadline for objections is November 8.
