FRANK Lampard stands to trouser a £3MILLION profit on his mansion — after paying a councillor to help him get planning approval that almost doubled its value.
The England ace hired flash Tory David Archer — nicknamed Boycie because he looks like Del Boy's wheeler-dealer pal in Only Fools and Horses.
Bentley-driving Boycie, 65, filled in forms and helped mastermind an application to build a new luxury home in the grounds of Lampard's property in Esher, Surrey.
Well-heeled locals are furious. One said: "We know no law has been broken but what the hell is this councillor doing filling in forms for Lampard. There is astonishment this was allowed to happen."
Another said: "The fact is Boycie has influence and power in the council and it is something many people feel needs looking at."
