Boy George wants to build a glazed extension at his Grade-II listed property in Hampstead , London . Boy George 's plans to build a lavish glazed extension onto his Grade-II listed London mansion have been turned down . The 53-year-old applied to build the extension at his multi-million pound home in Hampstead in a bid to brighten up the property . According to his planning application , the Culture Club frontman also wanted to chop down three trees to allow more light into the Victorian building . But Camden council rejected the proposals last September , saying the designs were an 'over-dominant and incongruous addition ' . It added that they would be 'detrimental to the character , appearance and special architectural and historic interests of the hosted listed building ' . The singer , who put the papers in under his real name George O'Dowd , is now appealing against the decision . The building works , filed under the singer 's real name George O'Dowd , would see new floor-to-ceiling windows installed to increase light . Among the planned works were external and internal alterations to the ground floor front windows , a new side window , a new rear garden door and re-landscaping of garden . The garden landscaping would include the removal of three mature trees and the demolition of an existing summer house . But the designs were opposed by the Hampstead Conservation Area Advisory Committee ( CCAC ) . A letter sent to the council by the group said the scheme was an over-development and would affect neighbours . They wrote : 'We object to the extension and the hard landscaping because of the garden take-up and potential light pollution . ' As part of the plans , Syte Architects , based in Soho , said : 'The house does not benefit from a great deal of natural light into its interior . Its frontage is orientated to the north east . 'The rear has a southwesterly orientation but a combination of factors mean that the interior often suffers from poor levels and quality of natural lighting . ' Camden council rejected the proposals for the Victorian mansion ( pictured ) last September , saying the designs were an 'over-dominant and incongruous addition ' It added : 'The proposed extension has been designed to create living spaces with a greater sense of connection to the garden and better levels of natural light . These spaces will have a different atmosphere and character to the internal spaces in the existing house . ' A planning inspector will consider written representations from both sides and is expected to make a site visit to his home before reaching a decision .
