Do ya think it's draughty? Sir Rod Stewart loses battle to install double glazing at his 18th century mansion to make it warmer

Sir Rod Stewart wanted to improve the heating at his Grade II listed mansion in Essex by installing double glazed windows Sir Rod Stewart has lost a battle to install double glazing at his 18th century mansion to make it warmer. The legendary singer wanted to improve the heating at his luxury property in Harlow, Essex, by getting rid of old, draughty windows. The 75-year-old rocker has already had draught proofing work done to the single-pane sash windows and had shutters fitted to them. He then applied to replace them with double glazed windows to improve 'thermal efficiency' at the home on the edge of Epping Forest he shares with wife Penny Lancaster. The work required planning permission from Epping Forest District Council because his home is a Grade II listed building. The council have now rejected the plans to winter-proof Durrington House after their own conservation team objected to them. The six windows Sir Rod wanted to replace are on the first floor of an extension to

Dominic Raab warns 'mutated version of coronavirus' linked to Danish mink farms could undermine Covid-19 vaccine efforts as UK says foreign lorry drivers WILL be turned back from the border if they have recently travelled through Denmark

Dominic Raab today warned a 'mutated version of coronavirus' linked to Danish mink farms could undermine efforts to produce an effective vaccine as the UK moved swiftly to ban hauliers arriving from Denmark. Foreign lorry drivers who have recently travelled through the country will be turned back at the UK border after widespread Covid-19 outbreaks at the farms. As of 4am this morning, only UK citizens have been allowed to return from Denmark, with any other visitors, or freight arrivals, being refused entry. Brits arriving from the country are now required to self-isolate for two weeks.  The Danish Government has ordered a cull of 17 million mink after a warning that a mutation of the virus - which is less sensitive to an attack from Covid-19 antibodies - had jumped from minks to humans and infected 12 people.  Coronavirus has spread from minks to humans in hundreds of cases - but the mutant strain is restricted to just 12 infections. Scientists fear this small number could be
