Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host property and the surrounding area, including the adjacent Lea Bridge Conservation Area
What decided it
The proposed extension would harm the character and appearance of the host property and surrounding area through its dominant appearance, oversized windows, and incompatible design features, conflicting with development plan policies requiring high-quality design responsive to local distinctiveness.
Plan policies cited: Policy D3 of The London Plan (2021), Policy LP1 of the Hackney Local Plan (2020), Policy HC1 of The London Plan (2021), Policy LP3 of the Hackney Local Plan (2020), Policy D1 of The London Plan (2021)
