Development planning

Planning permission has been secured for a new dwelling on a prominent corner site in the Victoria Park Conservation Area, Hackney.

Working alongside Stephen Taylor Architects, AZ Urban Studio advised on planning and heritage matters and led the project through a productive pre-application process with the local planning authority.

The approved dwelling is sited upon a former garden area of the adjacent semi-detached building and demonstrates how a carefully designed contemporary building can add to the formal historic townscape, and the setting of a number of adjacent listed buildings.

The planning permission was granted by officers of the local planning authority under delegated powers within the eight weeks statutory target period. It is one of a number of housing projects that AZ Urban Studio has worked upon with Stephen Taylor Architects.
