Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the De Beauvoir Conservation Area

What decided it

The proposed extension's excessive depth and the incongruous roof terrace with privacy screens would harm the appearance of the Conservation Area and be contrary to development plan policies, with no public benefits sufficient to justify this harm.

Framework references: 202

Plan policies cited: Policy HC1 of the London Plan (2021), Policy LP1 of the Hackney Local Plan 2033 (2020), Policy LP3 of the Hackney Local Plan 2033 (2020)
