Why it was refused
Reason
As stated on the decision notice
1
The proposed extension, by reason of its size, scale, detailed design, and
location, would appear as an overbearing, incongruous, and uncharacteristic
addition to the host building and the terrace that it forms part of. It would,
therefore, fail to preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the
conservation area, contrary to policies LP1 (Design Quality and Local
Character), LP3 (Designated Heritage Assets) of the Hackney Local Plan,
LP33 (2020) and policies D3 (Optimising site layout through the design-led
approach), D4 (Delivering good design), and HC1 (Heritage conservation and
growth) of the London Plan (2021) and the design advice in Hackney's
Residential Extensions and Alterations SPD (2009).
2
The proposed development would result in a harmful impact on the privacy
and living conditions of adjacent properties by introducing direct overlooking
into private amenity spaces and habitable rooms, leading to a loss of privacy.
As such, the proposal fails to comply with the relevant privacy standards set
out in policies LP1 (Design Quality and Local Character) and LP2
(Development and Amenity) of the Hackney Local Plan, LP33 (2020), and
policies D3 (Optimising site layout through the design-led approach), D4
(Delivering good design) of the London Plan (2021) and the design advice in
Hackney's Residential Extensions and Alterations SPD (2009).
3
The proposed development, by reason of its design and location, would
result in being overlooked by adjoining occupiers resulting in a loss of privacy
for its occupiers, thus providing substandard accommodation that fails to
comply with policies LP1 (Design Quality and Local Character) and LP17
(Housing Design) of the Hackney Local Plan LP33 (2020) and policy D6 (
Housing Quality and Standards) of the London Plan (2021).
