LONDON, NOV 17: Pop star Sting is taking legal action against Britain's Royal Air Force over its plans to increase usage of an airfield near his two million pound ($2.9 million) country mansion, British newspapers said on Friday.The Ministry of Defence wants to use its exemption to usual planning regulations to increase the number of flights at RAF Boscombe Down in southern England - a mile from Sting's home - from 9,000 to 14,000 a year, papers said.The British singer, former frontman of rock band the police, is leading a group of local residents, including the Earl and Countess of Chichester, in a campaign against the plan which he says is a breach of his human rights.``He's greatly concerned about the effects on his life and his enjoyment of his property,'' a spokesman for the musician told the Daily Mail.Lawyers acting for Sting, whose string of hits include An Englishman in New York and Don't stand so close to me, have started legal proceedings at Britain's High Court to fight the move.If he fails in his bid, the singer can always seek solace in one of his other three homes - including a 4.0 million pound ($5.7 million) beachfront mansion in Malibu, California.
