Why it was refused
Reason
As stated on the decision notice
1
The proposed two-storey rear extension by reason of scale, siting and design is
considered to be an obtrusive and incompatible form of development which would fail to
respect the character and appearance of the subject property, the terrace of which it forms
a part and the character of the surrounding area and is not considered to preserve the
appearance of the conservation area contrary to policies LP1 (Design quality and local
character) and LP3 (Designated Heritage Assets) of Hackney Local Plan 2033 (2020),
policies D3 (Optimising site capacity through the design led approach) and HC1 (Heritage
conservation and growth) of the London Plan (2021) and the guidance contained within the
Residential Extensions and Alterations SPD (2009).
2
The proposed bin and bicycle storage by reason of materiality, scale and siting is not
considered to preserve the appearance of the conservation area contrary to policies LP1
(Design quality and local character) and LP3 (Designated Heritage Assets) of Hackney
Local Plan 2033 (2020), policies D3 (Optimising site capacity through the design led
approach) and HC1 (Heritage conservation and growth) of the London Plan (2021) and the
NPPF (2021).
3
The proposed conversion is considered to result in substandard accommodation for
future occupiers by reason of lack of private amenity space, inadequate bedroom size and
noise, disturbance and privacy impacts and inadequate light and outlook for the occupants
of the lower ground floor bedroom contrary to policies LP2 (Development and Amenity)
LP17 (Housing design) of the Hackney Local Plan (2020), policy D6 (Housing quality and
standards) of the London Plan (2021) and the guidance contained within the Residential
Extensions and Alterations SPD (2009).
