Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the De Beauvoir Conservation Area
- The effect of the development on the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties
What decided it
The installation of railings and decking to create a useable roof terrace has an adverse impact on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers through increased loss of privacy and potential for noise and disturbance, conflicting with local plan policies on amenity.
Plan policies cited: Policy D3 of the London Plan (2021), Policy HC1 of the London Plan (2021), Policy LP1 of the Hackney Local Plan (2020), Policy LP3 of the Hackney Local Plan (2020), Policy LP2 of the Hackney Local Plan (2020), Hackney Residential Extensions and Alterations SPD, De Beauvoir Conservation Area Appraisal
