installation of extraction/ducting equipment to rear elevation

Authority: London Borough of Hackney
Appeal type: minor · Planning Appeal
Procedure: Written Representations
Development: other · Other minor developments
Inspector: Clark L

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

whether the development provides acceptable living conditions for neighbouring occupiers with particular regard to noise, vibration and odour
the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the appeal property and surrounding area including the Non-Designated Heritage Assets of 93 and 95 Green Lanes

What decided it

The combination of inadequate noise assessment and direct evidence of significant noise impact, coupled with the visually prominent and poorly integrated appearance of the metal ductwork, demonstrated conflicts with development plan policies protecting living conditions and character.

Plan policies cited: Policy LP2 of the Hackney Local Plan 2033, Policy D3 of the London Plan 2021, Policy D4 of the London Plan, Policy LP1 of the 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.

Then the development plan position, the housing land supply as an Inspector last accepted it, and every appeal decided around the site with its letter.

Every English appeal since 2016, with the letter behind it wherever the Inspectorate published one. Searched by meaning as well as by words, with the key case law counted live across the letters.

Casework that chases the deadlines. Applications, appeals and conditions with their statutory dates.

The judgement stays yours. The tool gathers the material and dates it.
