Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effects of the proposal upon the character and appearance of the host dwelling and wider area
  • The effects of the proposal upon the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers at Nos 20 and 24 Mount Pleasant Lane, with particular regard to visual impact and light

What decided it

The proposed extensions would fail to respond positively to the character and context of the appeal property and wider locality, and would impose an overbearing presence harmful to the living conditions of the neighbouring property at No 20, in conflict with adopted local plan and London Plan policies on design quality and residential amenity.

Plan policies cited: Policy LP1, Policy LP17, Hackney Local Plan 2033, Policy D3, Policy D4, The London Plan 2021, Policy LP2, Policy D6
