®Planning appeal decision
18, Parkholme Road, Hackney, London, E8 3AG
Planning appeal 3289791 at 18, Parkholme Road, Hackney, London, E8 3AG (London Borough of Hackney) was allowed in part (a split decision) on 7 March 2022 by Inspector Colebourne S, by written representations. The main issue, as the Inspector framed it: the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the dwelling and the Graham Road and Mapledene Conservation Area.
Demolish a poor quality extension at the rear and build a new two-storey rear extension, a new dormer extension, and a small bike store at the front of the property. Replace the existing timber sash windows with new double glazed units, removing the uncharacteristic red paint from the brickwork at the front of the property, new landscaping to the front and rear garden, including removing existing front garden wall and gates and building a new garden wall with new entrance gate at the front of the property

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the dwelling and the Graham Road and Mapledene Conservation Area
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers with regard to outlook
What decided it
The proposed rear dormer would occupy most of the roof width and be unduly bulky and disproportionate to the dwelling, significantly disrupting the uniform roofscape of the terrace and failing to preserve the Conservation Area character, whereas the front garden alterations and other works would enhance the Conservation Area and cause no significant harm to neighbours.
