Delegated decision: Refused · Gerard Livett
Why it was refused
Reason
As stated on the decision notice
1
The proposed fourth floor extension, in conjunction with previous
extensions of the building, represents a disproportionate addition to the host
building that would overwhelm and subsume the host building, and the
additional height would fail to respect the pattern of development in the area
and the hierarchy of building heights and would cause harm to the visual
amenity of this part of the Kingsland Conservation Area. As such the proposal
is contrary to policies D4 (Delivering good design) and HC1 (Heritage
conservation and growth) of the London Plan 2021, policies LP1 (Design
Quality and Local Character) and LP3 (Designated Heritage Assets) of the
Hackney Local Plan 2020 and the recommendations of the Supplementary
Planning Document: Residential Extensions and Alterations 2009.
2
The proposal, by reason of the additional height of the building, would
result in it having an overbearing appearance and give rise to perceptions of
an increased sense of enclosure and appearance of bulk when viewed from
neighbouring gardens, to the detriment of the amenity of neighbouring
residential occupiers. As such the proposal is contrary to policy D4
(Delivering good design) of the London Plan 2021 and policies LP1 (Design
Quality and Local Character) and LP2 (Development and Amenity) of the
Hackney Local Plan 2020.
