Madonna Banned From Building On New York Farm
July 15th, 2010 12:03am EDT
Madonna has been forced to halt the construction of a fence on her horse farm in New York after receiving a cease-and-desist notice from county officials who own the development rights to her land.
The Material Girl moved back to her native U.S. from London following her split from her ex-husband, British filmmaker Guy Ritchiee, in 2008.
In February she bought 30 acres of land in New York vacation spot the Hamptons for a reported $10 million, and named the property Wild Horses Farms.
The pop star began building a fence around the property, but the work has since been put on hold after she failed to apply for permission from Southampton and Suffolk County officials, who own its development rights.
According to the New York Post, Madonna received a cease-and-desist letter from the county on July 7.
The singer has reportedly filed an application for permission to complete the fence and a committee will review her plea on July 27.
