ROBBIE Williams is "tormenting" neighbour Jimmy Page by blasting Black Sabbath and dressing up his Led Zeppelin bandmate Robert Plant, a letter claims.

The pair have been locked in a feud over the Take That star's plans for a mega-basement pool at his £17.5million mansion in London.

Page, 75, insists the work would damage his Grade I listed home with its valuable mosaics.

The plans were were passed by the council last month.

But according to a bizarre letter sent to the council, written by a man named only as 'Johnny'.

It claims Robbie was aping Led Zep singer Plant by wearing a long wig and stuffing a pillow up his shirt as a fake beer belly.

Robbie strongly denies the claims.

The note, to Kensington and Chelsea borough says the Angels singer has been blaring out Black Sabbath, Pink Floyd and Deep Purple whenever he sees Plant outside.

Posted on line, it reads: "It has come to my attention of possible new evidence and information that could have a bearing on the ruling or any appeal process.

The committee may not have been aware that Robbie Williams has been playing loud 70's rock music on outside speakers when he views Jimmy Page outside his home.

"What's been most annoying is that Mr Williams has played rock arch rival bands Black Sabbath, Pink Floyd and Deep Purple.

"He obviously knows this upsets Mr Jimmy Page.

Not only was the Spectrum da bomb for concerts, but after every show there were dudes outside selling bootleg shirts, and soft pretzels (with optional mustard, of course) and soda for $1 a pop.

Pile the Broad Street Bullies and Dr. J and Moses Malone and 'Chocolate Thunder' into the mix, and it was the best place to grow up in the 1970s/1980s (if you ignore that little thing called MOVE...).

Sabbath and offspring.
Ozzy/Dio/Iommi/Ward/Wylde/Butler/Rhoads/Trujillo/Cantrell/Vai
And more.
A veritable pantheon of metal royalty.

Those 4 kids in the Paris show you watched spawned it all.
