Hi there, I"d like to enter an FOI request that focusses on planning applications in the London Borough of Hackney. I am looking for information on planning applications that have been submitted and subsequently *****nied (within the last five years - 2014 -present) and have proposed *****velopment to existing blocks of flats in the borough of Hackney. In particular, I"m interested in applications that involve the addition of an entire storey (or more) to an existing resi*****ntial block of flats. I would like to see the applications themselves, the appeals to said application and the final ruling *****tails on the application - including the grounds they were *****nied upon. Many thanks for your time,
