Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the proposals on the character and appearance and visual amenity of the area, including proposed lighting
the effect of the proposal on public safety
the effect of the proposed development on opportunities for crime and anti-social behaviour

What decided it

The Inspector was satisfied that the proposal would not cause material harm to character and appearance, public safety, or crime and anti-social behaviour, and that it accorded with relevant development plan policies.

The identified benefits of the proposal, including community benefits and accordance with development plan policies, were not outweighed by any identified harm.

Plan policies cited: Policy D4 of the London Plan, Policy D8 of the London Plan, Policy HC1 of the London Plan, Policy PP1 of the Hackney Local Plan, Policy LP1 of the Hackney Local Plan, Policy LP3 of the Hackney Local Plan

What an account adds

Draw a red line around your site and the appraisal follows.

Heritage. Listed buildings by grade and distance, conservation areas, scheduled monuments, registered parks and gardens, heritage at risk.
Landscape and environment. Green belt, national parks and national landscapes, SSSIs, ancient woodland, SPA, SAC and Ramsar sites, nutrient catchments.
Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.
