Why it was refused
Reason
As stated on the decision notice
1
The proposed development, by reason of its excessive scale,
massing, detailed design, position and location would result in an
obtrusive and incompatible form of development which would fail
to respect the character and appearance of the subject property
and the terrace of which it forms part and would fail to preserve or
enhance the character and appearance of the Brownswood
Conservation Area. As such the proposed development is contrary
to policies D3 (Optimising Site Capacity through the Design-led
Approach) and HC1 (Heritage Conservation and Growth) of the
London Plan 2021, LP1 (Design Quality and Local Character), LP3
(Designated Heritage Assets) and LP17 (Housing Design) of the
Hackney Local Plan 2033, and the guidance contained within
Hackney Residential Extensions and Alterations SPD 2009.
2
The proposed development, by reason of the second floor roof
terrace would result in loss of privacy and an increased
overlooking which would result in an unacceptable adverse impact
on the amenity of the neighbouring occupiers. As such the
proposed development is contrary to policies D3 (Optimising Site
Capacity through the Design-led Approach) D6 (Housing Quality
and Standards) of the London Plan 2021, policy LP2
(Development and Amenity) of the Hackney Local Plan 2033 and
the guidance contained within Hackney Residential Extensions
and Alterations SPD 2009.
