What officers recommended

Officers recommended approval because the scheme was high quality, provided 100% affordable housing in the first phase and was acceptable across the main planning issues.

“The changes proposed all relate to the Atrium building, which is intended to form the first phase of the development. The principle of a residential use at the Atrium site was agreed at the time of the parent permission. The amended scheme is considered to be of high architectural quality and well integrated within its context. The first phase…”

Officer report

Objections from neighbours

Five written objections raised concerns about design, residential amenity, noise, overdevelopment, parking, construction, waste, garages and consultation.

“Letters of consultation were sent to 490 adjoining owners/occupiers, site notices were erected on 19 March 2026 and a press notice placed in the Hackney Citizen. At the time of writing the report (17 March 2026) five written objections had been submitted, which are summarised below: ● The amended design does not pay sufficient regard to the existing context or respond appropriately to street width, scale and surrounding buildings.”

“Waste Management and Bin Storage: There are already serious issues with overflowing bins in the area. Bins regularly become so overfilled that they cannot be properly emptied. This problem has been exacerbated by the most recent block built nearby, where residents frequently use existing communal bins rather than their allocated facilities. ● The loss of garages has impacts on existing, including disabled, residents, who rely on them for storage and parking.”
