Pink Floyd guitarist caught in planning row over ‘obtrusive’ garden shed
Neighbours at war over Pink Floyd guitarist’s garden shed
- Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour is embroiled in a planning dispute with neighbours over a new garden shed at his Hampstead home.
- Gilmour built a green shed after demolishing a summer house and is now seeking retrospective planning permission for the structure.
- The Hampstead Hill Gardens Residents' Association claims the shed is “overbearing”, having been constructed against the boundary fence.
- The residents' group has urged Camden Council to refuse the retrospective application and demand the shed's removal, arguing it sets a precedent for ignoring planning terms.
- Gilmour's application asserts the shed is “well-designed”, “high-quality”, and painted green to minimise its visual impact, claiming it has less overall impact than the previous arrangement.
