"Jude Law has won the right to renovate his London home. The Anna Karenina actor invited his neighbours to view the plans he has made for the Georgian building that he owns.   The house, worth several millions of pounds, is in London&amp;#039;s expensive area of Highgate, and last year Law applied to local authorities for permission to make improvements to it. The actor filed the paperwork under his real name David Law and submitted plans to extend his basement. He then moved to halt any possible objections from locals by inviting his neighbours over to the house to see his proposal first-hand.  Neighbour Michael Hammerson told the Evening Standard: &amp;quot;We have a serious ongoing problem with houses in this area getting these massive basements and when we objected to his, we got an invitation from his PA to come to his house and look over what he was doing. &amp;quot;He came across as a nice, intelligent chap and seemed like a normal member of our community. He was dressed in a tracksuit and was very relaxed with us. &amp;quot;He explained that the basement he was proposing was really very small and the only comments any of us made were about the windows at the back of the house which perhaps could have a more authentic design, given the fact that it is a listed building&amp;quot;.
