Why it was refused
Reason
As stated on the decision notice
1
The proposal, by reason of its detailed design and siting, would have a detrimental
impact upon the character and appearance of the streetscene and would fail
to preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the adjacent Kingsland
Conservation Area. As such, the proposal is contrary to policies D3 (Optimising site
capacity through the design-led approach), D4 (Delivering good design), and HC1
(Heritage conservation and growth) of The London Plan (2021), and policies LP1
(Design Quality and Local Character), and LP3 (Designated Heritage Assets) of the
Hackney Local Plan (2020) and Hackney's Commercial Extensions and Alterations SPD
(2025).
