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

- Officers advised approval because the housing, public realm and sustainability benefits outweighed harm to some neighbours.
- One objection raised concerns about daylight, sunlight, flooding and drainage; officers accepted some light harm but found drainage acceptable.
- The committee voted unanimously for the application, with one abstention, and granted conditional permission subject to a legal agreement.
