Why it was refused
Reason
As stated on the decision notice
1
The proposed excavation to create a front basement lightwell
would, by reason of design, scale and location, appear as an
unsympathetic and discordant addition to both the host building
and wider terrace of which it forms part, resulting in an adverse
impact to the character and appearance of the host building and
surrounding streetscape. As such the proposed development is
contrary D3 (Optimising site capacity through the design-led
approach), and D4 (Delivering good design) of the London Plan
(2021), policy LP1 (Design Quality and Local Character) of the
Hackney Local Plan 2033 (2020), and the guidance contained
within Hackney Residential Extensions and Alterations SPD
(2009).
