Decision Maker:

Outcome: Refused

Is Key Decision?: No

Is Callable In?: No

Date of Decision: November 5, 2025

Purpose:

Content: On the officer's recommendation, as set out in the published application report, six Planning Sub-Committee members voted against the recommendation.   One Planning Sub-Committee member abstained from voting on the officer’s recommendation.   A motion to refuse the proposal was proposed by Councillor Ali Sadek and seconded by Councillor Jon Narcross (Vice-Chair of the Planning Sub-Committee meeting).   The six Planning Sub-Committee members who voted against the application did so on the grounds of the sub-standard quality of accommodation proposed, the proposed large House in Multiple Occupation (HMO) would be detrimental to the living conditions of future occupiers. The proposed development would, therefore, conflict with policies LP1 and LP22 of Hackney Local Plan 2033 (2020).
