Planning committee

Decided by Hackney Planning Sub-Committee on 4 Feb 2026. The council has not yet issued its decision notice.

Approved

As officers recommended.

  • Officers advised approval because substantial affordable housing and public-realm benefits outweighed harm to some neighbours.
  • Residents objected to height, neighbour impacts, construction disruption, parking, trees and other estate concerns.
  • The committee voted unanimously to grant permission, with one abstention, subject to a legal agreement.
