Why it was refused
Reason
As stated on the decision notice
1
The proposed development, by reason of its unsympathetic scale, form, siting and
design, would comprise an incongruous, discordant and overly prominent form of
development, to the detriment of the character and appearance of the site, adjoining
terrace(s), neighbouring properties and the wider conservation area. It is considered
that the proposal would be contrary to Policies D1 (London’s form, character and
capacity for growth), D3 (Optimising site capacity through the design-led approach)
and HC1 (Heritage Conservation and Growth) of The London Plan (2021), as well as
Policies LP1 (Design Quality and Local Character) and LP3 (Designated Heritage
Assets) of the Hackney Local Plan 2033 and the Council’s REA SPD (2009).
2
The proposed development, by reason of its inappropriate location, scale and
detailed design, would result in unacceptable levels of noise, disturbance and
overlooking, to the detriment of the living conditions of adjoining residential
occupiers. Therefore, it is considered that the proposed development fails to comply
with the requirements set out in policy LP2 (Development and Amenity), policy LP58
(Improving the Environment - Pollution) of the Hackney Local Plan 2033 and Policy
D14 (Noise) of The London Plan (2021).
