Planning Permission was granted by the Planning Committee of the London Borough of Hackney at their Sub-Committee on Wednesday 10th March.
The scheme, to modify an existing consent and add the additional 24 units within a new building, was submitted by Lynas Architecture and DP9 Planning Consultants on behalf of Findon Urban Lofts. The committee voted unanimously in favour of the scheme.
24 Apartment with restaurant and office space scheme to be submitted for Planning Permission in August.
The building is designed to have a simple and well proportioned form which sits comfortably next to the existing Victorian facade.
Windows are staggered and vary in size as the use behind varies. These are broken up by recessed balconies to create interest and provide amenity to the flats. Ground floor is proposed to be a restaurant taking advantage of the terrace to the street. The top floor is set back to provide amenity with views south over London.

The building is designed to have a simple and well proportioned form which sits comfortably next to the existing facade at 199-205 Richmond Road. The brick is chosen to match that of the new buildings at 199-205 and compliment the retained facade.
Windows are staggered and vary in size as the use behind varies. These are broken up by recessed balconies to create interest and provide amenity to the flats. Ground floor is proposed to be restaurant use and the glazing expresses this and doors open out onto the landscaped area. All upper windows to this facade are residential. The top floor is set back to provide amenity with views south over London Fields.
Lynas Architecture has been appointed by Lancsville Construction for the Construction phase of the development. Designed by Hamiltons Architects while Michael worked there leading the project to tender phase. The project includes 74 Private and Affordable homes behind a retained facade with Affordable commercial studios.
Lancsville Construction went into administration prior to Christmas 2009 and Sheldon Construction have taken on the project, the site was restarted in January and progress is back to full speed.
