      West Ham defender Cresswell — compared to a squirrel by former teammate Mark Noble — got permission in February last year to demolish an existing property and build a six-bed pad with cinema, garden pavilion and playground.
      But the rural plot in Formby, Merseyside, is next to a National Trust red squirrel refuge.
