Why it was refused

Reason
As stated on the decision notice
1
The proposed rear roof extensions, by reason of position, scale, materiality and bulk, would result in an incongruous, discordant and uncharacteristic addition that fails to respect the character and appearance of the host dwellings and the wider terrace. As such the proposal is contrary to policies D3 (Optimising site capacity through the design-led approach) and D4 (Delivering good design) of the London Plan (2021) and policy LP1 (Design Quality and Local Character) of the Hackney Local Plan 2033 (2020) and the guidance contained within Hackney's Residential Extensions and Alterations SPD (2025). Date of Decision: 23-01-2026
