Why it was refused
Reason
As stated on the decision notice
1
The proposed front lightwell would appear as an unsympathetic
and discordant addition to both the host building and wider
streetscene, resulting in an adverse impact to character and
appearance of the host building and wider area. 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).
