Why it was refused
Reason
As stated on the decision notice
1
The proposal would result in an unacceptable and unjustified loss of
employment floorspace in the Anton Street Priority Industrial Area, thereby
failing to ensure the retention of an adequate stock of industrial floorspace to
support Hackney's diverse, adaptable, and more sustainable economy. As
such, the proposal is considered unacceptable in principle and fails to comply
with policies LP26 (Employment Land and Floorspace), LP28 (Protecting and
Promoting Industrial Land and Floorspace in the Borough) of the Hackney
Local Plan LP33 (2020), and policy E7 (Industrial intensification, co-location,
and substitution) the London Plan (2021).
2
The proposed development, by reason of its lack of affordable housing
contribution, fails to meet the borough's demand for affordable housing and
therefore fails to comply with policy LP13 of the Hackney Local Plan LP33
(2020) and the Planning Contributions SPD (2020).
