2019/3936 39-47 East Road N1 6AH Demolition of the existing office building and redevelopment of the site by the erection of a building 23 storeys in height plus double basement, the building to accommodate offices (within the B1 Use Class - 4,564m2) at lower ground level, ground floor level, mezzanine level and levels 01 to 04, and a hotel (within the C1 Use Class - 210 keys and 6,537m2) at ground floor and levels 5 to 20, with ancillary office and hotel accommodation at basement level, lower ground level, ground floor, roof (plant) level, and roof level, with associated public realm works. (Barry Coughlan 020 8356 7939)

Objection. Although the site is outside the conservation area, it is close enough (two streets away from the Underwood CA) for concern that the overbearing scale, height and massing of this project will have a detrimental impact on the area. Although there are towers close to the Old Street roundabout, this proposal extends the cluster further up East Road, creating a strip of tall buildings, with a wind tunnel effect. Context for the proposal should take into account the low brick buildings in the block immediately adjacent to the East.

2020/1162 145 Hoxton Street N1 6QG ALTERATIONS TO EXTERNAL SCREEN / BALUSTRADE TO THE ROOF TERRACES OF TWO ADJACENT APARTMENTS, 145 and 145a HOXTON STREET, AND CHANGE OF EXTERNAL GLAZING FROM SLIDING DOORS (TWO LEAFS) TO FOLDING / SLIDING (THREE LEAFS) (Raymond Okot 020 8356 8080)

No objection

2020/1483 225 City Road ECV1 1JT Non material amendment application in relation to planning permission 2016/1814 dated 05/01/2018. The proposed amendments are as follows: - reconfiguration of the residential/City Road entrance - increase in the quantum of retail floorspace at ground floor level - in-filling of office atrium at Levels 1 - 6 in and shared lounge atrium at Level 7. (Barry Coughlan 020 8356 7939)

Objection. We regret that it appears the SCAAC did not respond to this application previously and wish to go on record now as registering very strong objections on the grounds of overdevelopment, with the proposed scale, mass and height of this building completely disproportionate to its surroundings.
