Overview

  • On July 8, Gilmour lodged a retrospective planning application with Camden Council for a new green shed in his Hampstead garden that is 5.95 sqm larger than the summerhouse it replaced
  • The Hampstead Hill Gardens Residents’ Association and other neighbours filed objections claiming the structure is overbearing, breaches its approved footprint by abutting the boundary fence, and harms local visual amenity
  • Whiteacre Planning, acting as Gilmour’s agent, maintains the shed complies with all relevant local and national planning policies and will not cause overlooking, loss of privacy, or overshadowing
  • Gilmour’s home lies in a conservation area next to listed buildings, which imposes stricter design and siting requirements on garden outbuildings
  • Camden Council has not yet scheduled a date for deciding the retrospective application or holding a hearing on the neighbour disputes
