Planning permission has been granted at committee for the creation of six new flats through the upward extension of the existing residential blocks on Dalston Lane, Hackney.
The site sits adjacent to a Conservation Area and listed heritage assets, and due to the uplift in height, the development needed to be a well-considered form of development, which was a result of an iterative design-led approach.
Planning Potential collaborated with a team of technical consultants to submit a thorough and acceptable planning application. In particular we were able to address the HSE comments raised during the determination period.
The proposals respond directly to national and regional planning policy, seeking to deliver new housing through upward extensions of existing residential blocks, in a sustainable brownfield location. The proposals will make a useful contribution towards local housing targets and local housing needs. Additionally, the existing facilities at the site are enhanced through the proposals, including the uplift of cycle parking and comprehensively improved landscaping area within the site.
Planning Potential successfully liaised with Officers at Hackney Council through the determination period to secure planning permission at planning committee subject to a Section 106 agreement being signed.
