Why it was refused
Reason
As stated on the decision notice
1
The proposed rear dormer by reason of bulk, size, and scale,
detailed design, and position within the roof slope, would result in
an obtrusive, unsympathetic, poorly designed, and incompatible
form of development. As such, the proposed development is
considered contrary to policies D3 (Optimising site capacity
through the design-led approach) and D4 (Delivering Good
Design) of the London Plan (2021), policy LP1 (Design Quality and
Local Character) and LP17 (Housing Design) of the Hackney Local
Plan 2033 (2020), and Hackney's Residential Extensions and
Alterations Supplementary Planning Document (2025).
