Craig David angers neighbour by installing four noisy air conditioning systems ...

R&B legend Craig David is embroiled in a row with his well-heeled neighbours after he installed ‘noisy and obtrusive’ air conditioning units at his £6million home without planning permission.

The Re-Rewind singer, 37, splashed out on a converted warehouse complete with a glass swimming pool and retractable roof in trendy North London in January last year.

But he landed in hot water with Camden council after putting up at least three air conditioning units on the roof of the mid-terrace pad without a planning application.

He has now applied for retrospective consent to keep the structures, promising to add ‘acoustic enclosures’ to make them quieter. But a business owner next door has objected.

In a letter to Camden Council, Jonathan Korn, 55, a children’s clothing salesman, wrote: ‘There are not three A/C units but four of them. The site can only be viewed from my office or the office above.

‘I was very concerned when the A/C company installed the units as much of the year I open my back window and didn't want to hear four large condensers that point towards the windows.

‘I suddenly had four large unsightly condensers as my view. When I asked the installers they told me planning permission had already been granted. When I checked on Camden planning, I saw that planning was for condensers in different locations.’
