Decision outlook
Plota predicted a decision around 4 Oct 2026; it is now day 377.
Day 377, past the statutory target. 43% of new homes in Hackney are decided within thirteen weeks; extensions of time are common, and the council need not decide on the day. Last seen undecided on 3 Oct 2026.

Planning committee
Decided by Hackney Planning Sub-Committee on 14 Jan 2026. The council has not yet issued its decision notice.
Approved
- Officers advised approval because the extension would provide housing and was considered acceptable in design, amenity, transport and environmental terms.
- Eleven neighbours objected, citing overdevelopment, loss of light and privacy, traffic, design, construction disturbance and inadequate amenity space.
- The committee voted unanimously in favour, with one abstention, and granted permission subject to conditions and a legal agreement.
