HC12 230 Dalston Lane and Hackney Downs Station Entrance

Development Principles:

There is potential for mixed-use development on this site incorporating residential, including maximising the provision of genuinely affordable homes, and commercial floorspace. Development should respond to the current scale of enclosure of Dalston Lane. The tallest element of the scheme should be set back from Dalston Lane. Indicative appropriate heights on this site is in the range of 4 to 6 storeys. Development should take opportunities to improve the public realm and quality of pedestrian arrival at Hackney Downs Station. Existing buildings nearby serve a role in landmarking the location of the station and are of a scale commensurate to the importance of the station. As such there is no justification for an additional landmark tall building on this site.

Indicative capacity: 45 residential units and 800sqm of commercial floorspace.
