Why it was refused
Reason
As stated on the decision notice
1
The proposed extension, by reason of inappropriate scale, detailed design
and location, would result in an unsympathetic, obtrusive and incongruous
form of development, which would detrimentally impact the character and
appearance of the host property and wider terrace and the South Shoreditch
Conservation Area. The identified less than substantial harm to the
significance of the South Shoreditch Conservation Area would not be
outweighed by any public benefit. As such the proposed development is
contrary to the National Planning Policy Framework (2023), policies D3
(Optimising Site Capacity through the Design-led Approach) and HC1
(Heritage conservation and growth) of the London Plan 2021, policies LP1
(Design Quality and Local Character) and LP3 (Designated Heritage Assets)
of the Local Plan 2033, and the guidance as contained within Hackney
Residential Extensions and Alterations SPD 2009.
2
The proposed development, by reason of its size, design and position,
would result in an overbearing impact and increased sense of enclosure and
noise, along with a loss of daylight/sunlight and privacy 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.
