34 New Inn Yard, Hackney, London, EC2A 3EY
Amalgamation of two self contained flats to create a single family dwelling house and the erection of a single storey roof extension and rear infill extension with external works to the front elevation.
The proposed extension, by reason of inappropriate scale, detailed design and location, would result in an unsympathetic, obtrusive and incongruous form of development, which would detrimentally impact the character and appearance of the host property and wider terrace and the South Shoreditch Conservation Area. The identified less than substantial harm to the significance of the South Shoreditch Conservation Area would not be outweighed by any public benefit. As such the proposed development is contrary to the National Planning Policy Framework (2023), policies D3 (Optimising Site Capacity through the Design-led Approach) and HC1 (Heritage conservation and growth) of the London Plan 2021, policies LP1 (Design Quality and Local Character) and LP3 (Designated Heritage Assets) of the Local Plan 2033, and the guidance as contained within Hackney Residential Extensions and Alterations SPD 2009.
The proposed development, by reason of its size, design and position, would result in an overbearing impact and increased sense of enclosure and noise, along with a loss of daylight/sunlight and privacy which would result in an unacceptable adverse impact on the amenity of the neighbouring occupiers. As such the proposed development is contrary to policies D3 (Optimising Site Capacity through the Design-led Approach) D6 (Housing Quality and Standards) of the London Plan 2021, policy LP2 (Development and Amenity) of the Hackney Local Plan 2033 and the guidance contained within Hackney Residential Extensions and Alterations SPD 2009.
