Planning committee
Decided by Hackney Planning Sub-Committee on 19 Nov 2025.
Approved
As officers recommended.
- Officers advised approval because the housing, public realm and sustainability benefits outweighed the main harm to some neighbours.
- Two neighbours objected over refuse arrangements, construction disruption, heavy vehicles, dust, noise and health effects.
- The committee voted unanimously to approve the application with an additional design condition and legal agreement.
