Why it was refused
Reason
As stated on the decision notice
1
The proposal represents a form of development that would, by reason of
inappropriate design and the provision of a full-depth front lightwell, represent
an uncharacteristic form of development that would be out of keeping with the
character and appearance of the host building and the street scene, to the
detriment of the visual amenity of the host building and the area. As such the
proposal is contrary to policies 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 (2020) and the recommendations of the Supplementary Planning
Document: Residential Extensions and Alterations (2009).
