David Gilmour loses shed planning battle

Pink Floyed guitarist David Gilmour has been ordered by Camden Council in London to take down a newly-built shed after a planning row with neighbours.
 
Pictured above are the summerhouse and sheds that previously stood on the footprint before the musician had them removed and replaced with a new shed build 2.5m x 1.9m x 2.9m. However, Hampstead Hill Gardens Residents’ Association called for his retrospective planning application to be refused with neighbours complaining that it was “overbearing” and “intrusive” and not built on the original shed footprint.

The council has now demanded that the existing structure be moved and rebuilt further away from the back fence.

Back in 2011, Gilmour was told by the council to pull down a yellow beach hut at his £3m seafront mansion in East Sussex which he used to house his bicycles as it was an "eyesore" in the Hove conservation area (though it looked fine to the Shedworking staff).
