Why it was refused
Reason
As stated on the decision notice
1
The proposed development, by reason of its detailed design would result in an
obtrusive and incompatible form of development which would fail to respect the
character and appearance of the statutory listed subject property. As such the
proposed development is contrary to policies 7.4 (Local Character), 7.6
(Architecture) and 7.8 (Heritage Assets and Archaeology) of the London Plan,
policies 24 (Design) and 25 (Historic Environment) of the Hackney Local
Development Framework Core Strategy, policies DM1 (High Quality Design) and
DM28 (Managing Heritage Assets) of the Hackney Development Management
Local Plan and the guidance contained within Hackney Residential Extensions
and Alterations SPD 2009.
2
The proposed development, by reason of the loss of employment generating
floor space without adequate evidence to justify such a loss at this location in a
Priority Employment Area, would result in a detrimental impact to the supply of
commercial floorspace within this area and the borough generally. As such, the
proposed development is contrary to policies 4.1 (Developing London's
Economy) and 4.2 (Offices) of the London Plan, policies 16 (Employment
Opportunities), 17 (Economic Development), and 18 (Promoting Employment
Land) of the Hackney Local Development Framework Core Strategy 2010, and
policies DM14 (Retention of Employment Land and Floorspace), and DM17
(Development Proposals in Priority Employment Areas) of the Hackney
Development Management Local Plan
3
The proposed change of use to an evening and night time economy use is
considered unacceptable and would result in an overconcentration of A4 type
floorspace in this location to the detriment of the surrounding residential
amenity. As such the proposed development is contrary to policy 7.15 (Reducing
and Managing Noise) of the London Plan, policy 15 (Evening and Night Time
Economy) of the Hackney Local Development Framework Core Strategy, and
policies DM2 (Development and Amenity) and DM11 (Evening and Night-Time
Economy Uses) of the Hackney Development Management Local Plan.
