Fans of the Belsize Conservation Area will be delighted to hear that a controversial application for a large and inappropriate garden house on Belsize Square was rejected by the Development Control Committee on the 24th June. It was a close vote of 6-4 against it going through, so the outcome can be put down to the hard work carried out by local residents, who ran a campaign against it and took a deputation to the Town Hall.

Cllr Tom Simon, who also spoke at the meeting against the application, said: “This is a very positive result for the conservation area and a tribute to the power of community action!“
