Notes Made 15 January 2018 (Cabinet decision NH O40 of 18 December 2017) and in force from 11 February 2019. The retail element has had no effect since 1 August 2021 (see A4D-2015-RETAIL-TO-RESIDENTIAL) but Class M still permits launderette to dwellinghouse change of use, so the direction remains in effect for 16 Stamford Hill and no end date is recorded. Document URL is the council's Cabinet report with both January 2018 directions appended; the sealed copy formerly published on hackney.gov.uk is no longer online. Town centre geometry from the WFS; the 16 Stamford Hill building footprint is from OS NGD (building part containing UPRN 100021074880). Facts about Notes
Description Non-immediate direction withdrawing the Class M permitted development right for change of use from shops (A1), financial and professional services (A2), betting offices, pay day loan shops and launderettes to dwellinghouses (C3) in the additional town centre areas proposed in Local Plan 33 (east of Dalston, additions to Hackney Central, and the Dunsmure Road, Oldhill Street, Green Lanes and Hackney Downs local shopping centres) and at the launderette at 16 Stamford Hill.
