Why it was refused
- - The proposal due to its location, size, bulk and internal illumination would be detrimental to the visual amenity of the area and would add unnecessary street clutter. The proposal would also cause harm to the setting of the Stepney Green Conservation Area and the adjacent listed heritage assets. The proposal is therefore contrary to policies S.DH1, S.DH3, and D.DH10 of the Tower Hamlets Local Plan 2031 (2020); policies D3 and HC1 of the London Plan (2021) and the provisions in the NPPF (2024).
- - The proposal will cause unnecessary obstruction to the footway and would constitute a visual distraction for drivers and cyclists using Mile End Road. This is contrary to policies D.DH10 and S.TR1 of the Tower Hamlets Local Plan 2031 (2020) and policy T2 of the London Plan (2021).
From the council's decision notice.
