This meeting was about Hackney Council's Planning Sub-Committee considering several planning applications that had been submitted to the Council. The applications included proposals for residential and mixed use schemes as well as for new community facilities. The documents describe what was due to be discussed at the meeting, but do not tell us anything about what was actually discussed, or whether any decisions were actually made.

85 Lordship Road, London, N16 0QY

The application sought permission for the demolition of buildings on the site and their replacement by a part 2, part 4, part 7 storey (above a two-storey basement) building. This would comprise a 2 form entry nursery, primary and secondary school (Use Class F1) for up to 700 pupils, 40 dwellings (8x1bed, 19x2bed, 8x3bed, 5x4bed) with associated works and landscaping. A dedicated open air multi-use games area (MUGA) was proposed to be located at first floor level. The applicant was Housefresh Limited. Their agent was Stephen Hinsley. The application was accompanied by 25 objections from local residents, one of which was submitted on behalf of an unknown number of occupiers. 744 letters of support were also received from local residents and organisations. Objections related to the principle of the development, its design and impact on the amenities of surrounding residents and businesses. The Stamford Hill Area Action Plan, which was published in draft form in 2023, states that new schools are urgently required in the area, and so the application was supported by the Council’s Planning Officers. Following representations from the Council, the scheme was revised to address some of the concerns raised during the consultation process. This included the lowering of the ‘gatehouse’ element of the residential building by a storey and reducing the massing of the tower. In response, a further 15 objections were received from local residents, including an addendum to the original group objection. A further 10 letters of support were also received. The objections largely related to concerns regarding the viability of the development, particularly the need for the residential element of the scheme and questioning whether the provision of the school would actually be delivered. The application was called in to be determined by the Planning Sub-Committee as it is considered to be a major application and due to the substantial level of objections received. Council Officers recommended that Planning Permission be granted subject to conditions and the completion of a Section 106 legal agreement.

305A Kingsland Road, London, E8 4DL

The application sought permission for a variation of condition 2 (development in accordance with approved plans) of a previously approved planning application (ref 2019/2175). The applicant was Charles Moran (Kingsland Road Developments Ltd). The applicant’s agent was CMA Planning. This condition related to the approved plans for a development comprising of a part 6 and part 7 storey (plus basement) building. This comprised of flexible workspace (Use Classes B1a and B1c) and co-living accommodation. The proposed variations sought an additional storey of co-living accommodation within the consented volume. This would bring the total number of rooms to 150. The application was accompanied by 27 objections from local residents. The objections largely related to concerns over the increase in height and massing of the development. These residents considered that the additional storey would be out of character for the Regent’s Canal / Kingsland Conservation Area in which the site is situated. They also raised concerns regarding the impact of the development on the amenity of surrounding properties and businesses, particularly the impact on daylight/ sunlight. In order to overcome the concerns raised during the consultation process, the scheme was revised. This included increasing the overall height by 80cm. A reconsultation was undertaken and no further objections were received. The application was called in to be determined by the Planning Sub-Committee as a result of the substantial level of objections received. Council Officers recommended that Planning Permission be granted subject to conditions and completion of a legal agreement.

63-67 Dalston Lane, Hackney, London, E8 2AB

The application sought permission for the erection of a part one and part two storey roof extension to an existing mixed commercial and residential use building. This would provide six new self-contained flats with associated landscaping, cycle storage and waste facilities. The applicant was Avon Estates. The applicant’s agent was Lewis Wrench (Planning Potential Ltd.) The application was accompanied by 29 objections and one letter of support. Objections related to concerns about the impact of the development on the amenity of surrounding properties, particularly the impact on daylight and sunlight, as well as privacy. Concerns were also raised regarding the standard of accommodation provided, with the plans proposing several single-aspect flats. The application was called in to be determined by the Planning Sub-Committee as a result of the substantial level of objections received. Council Officers recommended that Planning Permission be granted subject to conditions and completion of a Section 106 legal agreement.

Clissold Park Greenway Close, Hackney, London, N4 2EY

The application sought Full Planning Permission and Listed Building Consent for the erection of an office, garage and storage unit, the provision of car parking and cycle storage and the installation of solar panels. The applicant was Hackney Council. Their agent was Concertus Design And Property Consultants. The application was accompanied by three objections from local residents. These objections related to the proposed use of dark blue engineering brick for the building, as it was considered to be out of character with the Clissold Park Conservation Area in which the site is situated. Concerns were also raised over the proposed location of solar panels, which were to be installed on the roof of the Former Stable Block, a curtilage listed building. Following representations from the Council, the scheme was revised to address some of the concerns raised. The height of the proposed building was lowered and the materials were revised. The application was called in to be determined by the Planning Sub-Committee as it is a Council-owned application where a letter of objection has been received raising material planning issues. Council Officers recommended that Planning Permission be granted subject to conditions and the completion of a Unilateral Undertaking legal agreement.

Hackney Downs Park, Downs Park Road, Hackney, London, E5 8NP

The application sought permission for an extension to the existing Hackney Downs Depot, with new hard surfacing, boundary treatments and cycle storage. The applicant was Bruce Irving (Hackney Council). The applicant’s agent was Eumir Barreiros (Concertus Design and Property Consultants). The application was accompanied by an objection from The Hackney Society. This related to concerns over the design of the proposed extension which was considered to be of a poor design and “perfunctory”. Following representations from the Council, the scheme was revised to address some of the concerns raised. This included changing the proposed roller shutter serving the storage areas for hinged doors, relocating a window opening from the west to the north elevation, upgrading the roof to the remaining section of the existing building, changing the full height wall cladding to the roof upstand level on the south elevation, relocating the cycle shelter to a secured area, separated from vehicular traffic and removing the proposed permeable paving. The application was called in to be determined by the Planning Sub-Committee as it is a Council-owned application where a letter of objection had been received, raising material planning issues. Council Officers recommended that Planning Permission be granted subject to conditions.
