5.4  Two local residents spoke in objection to the application highlighting a number of concerns. These centred on how the proposals no longer reflected Hackney Council’s original objective to provide good quality housing to meet housing needs in the borough. This in turn had undermined the Council’s ability to comply with a Unilateral Undertaking to provide a minimum number of affordable residential units on site. There were also concerns raised about the amount of dust and noise that would be generated during the construction phase and also how the scale of the proposals did not fit in with the character of the area.

  5.5  Local ward Cllr Robert Chapman spoke in support of the application giving a brief overview of the scheme and its benefits to the local community.
