KEIRA Knightley is beefing up security at her £3.9million home after being plagued by a stalker.
The Pride and Prejudice star, 32, has told how she is scared to go outside after convicted flasher Mark Revill repeatedly delivered letters, postcards and a USB containing a song he had written for her.
He also made meowing noises through the letterbox of the north London pad she shares with husband, former Klaxons keyboard player James Righton, and two-year-old daughter Edie.
Keira has now lodged a planning application with her local council which details the carrying out of extensive building work that the documents state will boost security.
Oscar nominee Keira has already turned her home into a high-tech fortress by adding state of the art CCTV and high security shutters after Revill drew a chalk arrow pointing to her front door.

Revill, of Hackney, admitted stalking claiming he was in love with her although he had been approaching her primarily to promote his music.
He was given eight weeks’ suspended jail and a restraining order.
Keira said she was planning to quit her home following the emotional trauma but the planning application suggests she is now staying put.
In a victim statement read to court, she said: “This man has caused a lot of distress and panic. I’m scared every time I go outside.
“When I return home I have to look behind me. I don’t know who might be in the shadows.”
Keira also wants to carry out internal works including a new opening from an entrance hall to a ground floor toilet, and a new first floor stud wall.
She needs planning permission to carry out the work as her four-storey home is a Grade II listed building in a conservation area.
Officials at Islington Council are expected to make a decision next month after there were no objections from neighbours.
