Overview

• Camden Council said the unlawfully sited outbuilding must be removed and re‑erected about 2.5 metres from the rear boundary within one month or face enforcement action.
• Gilmour submitted revised plans that reduce the structure’s size and commit to relocating it after objections were filed over the original placement.
• The Hampstead Hill Gardens Residents’ Association, chaired by Audrey Mandela, argues the replacement should have reused the previous footprint and calls the current building obtrusive and overbearing.
• Planning documents record Sir Jeffrey Jowell KC noting extensive foundations and landscaping during construction, which he wrote could indicate uses beyond a garden shed.
• The shed, reported at roughly 2.5m high by 1.9m wide by 2.9m deep in a conservation‑area garden, is defended by Gilmour’s agents, who say it will not cause overlooking, loss of privacy or overshadowing.
