A neighbour row has erupted after local residents tried to block Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour's garden shed application.
The music icon recently submitted a retrospective planning application to Camden Council after demolishing a garden summerhouse and shed and replacing it with a new shed at his property in Hampstead.
In the planning and heritage statement submitted as part of the application, it states the new structure is "of modest size".
It adds that although the roof of the shed is "above the height of the boundary fence", it will not lead to "overlooking" or "loss of privacy".

The shed is described as being of a "similar design" to the previously approved summerhouse that it replaced and "is painted green to minimise its visual impact".
The planning document concludes that planning permission should be "granted without delay" as the proposal "complies will all relevant national and local planning policy".
The application has however been objected by The Hampstead Hill Gardens Residents’ Association, who have called for the shed to be removed "as soon as possible".
A statement by Audrey Mandela, Chair of the association, reads: "The application should be rejected as the structure now in place is obtrusive, overbearing, and significantly more visually and physically intrusive than what was originally approved or what stood there before.
"The decision we hope the council will make is that it is removed as soon as possible to stop the continued harm to neighbourhood amenity."
