Via the Daily Mail:
Development plans for a Beatles rooftop experience are on hold after the building's neighbours claimed it would block out their sunlight.
The building at 3 Savile Row in London, which is due to open next year, will be transformed into a seven-floor museum, featuring a recreation of the basement studio where Let It Be was recorded.
Fans will have also the opportunity to visit the building's rooftop where the band performed their final gig in 1969, before the Metropolitan Police shut it down.
The museum which entered development after the group's record label, Apple Corps, reacquired the building will also feature rare archival footage and material and a souvenir shop.
But next-door neighbours of the proposed Beatles rooftop experience are not saying Here Comes the Sun - instead, they claimed the museum will actually block their sunlight.
...The museum's planning team told Westminster council the attraction would serve as a 'local cultural asset' and not simply a 'tourist destination'.
They said opening the building up to visitors represented a 'once-in-a-lifetime opportunity' to bring the Beatles 'back to one of their spiritual homes'.
Apple Corps rejected concerns about any changes to the amount of sunlight neighbouring buildings would receive, or noise levels if the museum were to open.
