Why it was refused
Reason
As stated on the decision notice
1
The proposed linked rear dormer roof extension, by reason of its scale,
form, massing, location and detailed design, comprises an incongruous,
discordant and unsympathetic form of development that is out of keeping with
the original building and wider terrace, resulting in harm to the significance of
the site and fails to preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the
Graham Road and Mapledene Conservation Area. As such, the proposed
development is contrary to policies D1 (London’s form, character and capacity
for growth) and D3 (Optimising site capacity through the design-led approach)
D4 (Good design) and HC1 (Heritage conservation and growth) of the London
Plan (2021), policies LP1 (Design Quality and Local Character), LP3
(Designated Heritage Assets) of the Hackney Local Plan (2020) and
Hackney's Residential Extensions and Alterations SPD (2025).
