A nimby campaign is trying to block a significant development a short walk from Hackney Wick station; "10 storeys. 280 co-living studios. One chance to object." Of course, you can also use the details supplied to submit a note of support 👇 wansbeckroadfishisland.uk/

An application has been submitted for a new @LidlGB store to replace the Jet petrol station on Lower Clapton Road. This is great news which will bring more footfall to the high-street, but the proposal is underdevelopment and should have multiple floors of housing above.

'A planning application for a building next to Hackney’s Moth Club has been refused by Hackney Council. The proposal for six residential flats and a ground floor commercial building.. next to the historic venue would have seriously threatened its future' timeout.com/london/news/icon…
Apparently another application has been submitted for the adjacent site. (The Moth Club has launched a petition opposing the proposals which already has almost 5,500 signatures!)

Turns out an application was submitted in 2023 for a residential development above Boots. Not sure how it progressed. (Via @thedtw_ ) mo-st.com/projects/kingsland…
This hugely underutilized site opposite Dalston Kingsland Station is up for auction. Shame Boots have a lease until 2030. auctions.allsop.co.uk/lot-ov…
