No Hackney High-rise opposes the intended construction of towers surrounding London Fields and all other proposed inappropriate towers in Hackney, starting with: Southern Housing’s proposed 19 FLOOR TOWER at 22-44 LONDON LANE E8 3PR
No Hackney High-rise opposes the intended construction of towers surrounding London Fields and all other proposed inappropriate towers in Hackney, starting with: Southern Housing’s proposed 19 FLOOR TOWER at 22-44 LONDON LANE E8 3PR
The proposed tower block:
- does not preserve or enhance the character or appearance of Mare Street Conservation area in which it is sited.
- is totally out of scale with the adjacent terraced streets.
- overshadows the remainder of the development, the surrounding houses and London Fields East.
- falls outside Hackney’s Tall Building zone.
- will increase pressures on local services and amenities.
- will exacerbate the wind funnel already created by Vanguard House (the new tower block overlooking London Fields).
- is too dense, adversely affecting the quality of life for those who live within and surrounding the proposed development.
We support the development of the site to maintain the existing commercial use and provide low-rise family housing and urge Southern Housing Group to reconsider their scheme.
