Delegated decision: Refused · Sophie Brocklesby
Why it was refused
Reason
As stated on the decision notice
1
The proposed development, by reason of its failure to discharge 1m above
the eaves of the listed building at 11-15 Great Eastern Street, results in harm
to the amenities of adjoining occupiers from fumes and odour nuisance.
Furthermore, the operation of the duct results in noise and disturbance,
without the submission of an acoustic report to demonstrate compliance with
the LPA's noise standards. The development is therefore, contrary to D14 and
SI 1 of the London Plan 2021 and LP2 & LP58 of Hackney Local Plan 2033.
2
The proposed duct, by reason of its size, materials, positioning, and method
of attachment to the listed building Pennybank Chambers at 11-15 Great
Eastern Street, results in harm to the heritage asset and therefore, fails to
conserve and enhance its significance. Furthermore, the application
submission documents including the site location plan fail to adequately
consider the listed building to which the unauthorised duct is attached. The
proposal is, therefore, contrary to policies D3, D4, and HC1 of the London
Plan (2021) and policies LP1 and LP3 of the Hackney Local Plan 2033 (2020)
and the South Shoreditch Conservation Area Appraisal and Management
Plan.
