4 Englefield Road, Hackney, London, N1 4LN
Proposed single storey rear wrap around extension
The proposed wrap around extension, by reason of its scale, massing and siting, would result in an uncharacteristic, overly prominent and incongruous addition that would disrupt the historic form of the site and surrounding area and fail to preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the site and the wider Kingsland and De Beauvoir Conservation Areas. As such the proposed development is contrary to policies D1 (London’s form, character, and capacity for growth), D3 (Optimising site capacity through the design-led approach), D4 (Delivering good design) and HC1 (Heritage, conservation and growth) of the London Plan (2021) and policies LP1 (Design Quality and Local Character) and LP3 (Designated Heritage Assets) of the Hackney Local Plan (2020) and the Hackney Residential Extensions and Alterations Supplementary Planning Document (2025).
