Why it was refused
Reason
As stated on the decision notice
1
The development consisting of the single storey rear extension, the air
conditioning unit located at first floor level on the western elevation, storage
unit adjacent to the substation, and outdoor seating structure by reason of
design, materials and sitting results in an incompatible form of development
which fails to preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the
building, the street scene including neighbouring statutory and locally listed
buildings, and the conservation area. As such, the development is contrary to
policies D1 ‘London’s form, character and capacity for growth’, D3 ‘Optimising
site capacity through the design-led approach’, D4 'Delivering good design',
D8 ‘Public Realm’ and HC1 ‘Heritage conservation and growth’ of the London
Plan 2021 and policies LP1 ‘Design Quality and Local Character’, LP3
‘Designated Heritage Assets’ and LP4 ‘Non Designated Heritage Assets’ of
the Hackney Local Plan 2020 and the Graham Road and Mapledene
Conservation Area Appraisal 1997.
2
The development consisting of the single storey rear extension by reason
of impacts to amenity value results in a development which fails to respect
neighbouring occupiers. As such, the development is contrary to D13 ‘Agent
of Change’ and D14 ‘Noise’ of the London Plan 2021 and policies LP2
‘Development and Amenity’ and LP58 ‘Improving the Environment - Pollution’
of the Hackney Local Plan 2020.

of this proposal and the protection of each of these characteristics.
4
Insufficient information has been submitted in regard to the materials of the
metal gate adjacent to the substation, air conditioning unit enclosure, and
HVAC vent as a result of this application. The Local Planning Authority is
therefore unable to fully assess the merits or otherwise of this proposal and
its impact on the amenity value of neighbouring residential occupiers.
5
Insufficient information has been submitted in regard to the amenity impact
of the storage unit adjacent to the substation, metal gate adjacent to the
substation, and the outdoor seating area and structure as a result of this
application. The Local Planning Authority is therefore unable to fully assess
the merits or otherwise of this proposal and its impact on the amenity value of
neighbouring residential occupiers.

of plant equipment and HVAC vent as a result of this application. The Local
