68 Darnley Road, Hackney, London, E9 6QH
Erection of rear extension at lower ground and upper ground floor levels.
The proposed development, by reason of its size, massing, and siting would result in an overly dominant, intrusive, and incompatible form of development that would fail to respect the character and appearance of the subject property, the terrace of which it forms part of and wider area when viewed from Chatham Place. As such the proposed development is contrary to policy D4 (Delivering good design) of the London Plan (2021) as well as LP1 (Design Quality and Local Character) of the Hackney Local Plan (2020) as well as the guidance contained within Hackney Residential Extensions and Alterations SPD (2009).
The proposed rear extension by reason of its size, massing and sitting, would result in an overbearing development causing a loss of light and outlook for occupiers of No.70 Darnley Road contrary to LP2 'Development and Amenity' of the Hackney local plan and D6 'Housing Quality and Standards' of the London plan as well as the guidelines Residential Extensions and Alterations SPD (2009).
