Hamilton's nearby neighbour also explained that the summer house is clearly going to be used as a 'party pad' away from the main residence due to the nature of his lavish lifestyle. It was also reported that Hamilton is "almost never" in his London mansion with the place being empty most of the time.

A second neighbour feared that healthy trees would be taken down in order to build the house. Hamilton's adjacent neighbour felt that the beautiful greenery would be destroyed in the backyard if the new summer house is built. The neighbours have also complained that the construction of the party pad would reduce the natural light they require in order to work.
