Andragendet er stilet til: Hackney Council

These new units, located at the center of a residential development, in a quiet courtyard, are of great nuisance due to the very loud noise of machinery they make.
This results in a loss of our enjoyment of our flats (living rooms, bedrooms) and balconies: the noise is severe and non-stop, even at night.
No being able to ventilate our flat at night in the warm weather has negative consequences for our health.
Due to the detriment they cause to residents, we're asking for their immediate removal or relocation.

Quietness and outside space are key criteria for wellbeing and the housing market. Residents may be forced to move out or indure a loss of value of their properties.
Lack of sanctions from the Council despite its own rules been broken because ventilations were illegally put: they were not included in the original permit 2015/1895, denied again in the new application 2022/0589 and are also the object of a 6 months overdue Breach of condition notice 2022/270/ENF.
Impact is collective as they directly affect a great number of residents
This is largely avoidable by the developer. There are multiple alternative solutions to ventilate underground premises without harming neighbours.
No noise assessment has ever been made at this location and all flats are pre-existent to the noise, so impact was not taken into consideration into planning.
