Plans to build two houses next to Grade II-listed Jack Straw s Castle on the edge of the Heath were disputed at a public planning inquiry on Tuesday.
The proposal by Highgate-based Albany Homes to build in the old pub s car park is opposed by Camden Council, the Heath and Hampstead Society, the Hampstead Neighbourhood Forum and the City of London Corporation.
Planning inspector Hayley Butcher led the one-day hearing, and is set to rule on whether Albany should be allowed to build the two three-storey homes.
