Hackney Wick Conservation Area
Consultation period: 1 February 2010 - 15 March 2010
In November 2009, Hackney Council designated an area within Hackney Wick as a Conservation Area ahead of public consultation. This will protect its historic buildings and open spaces, which have come under development pressure from the area’s close proximity to the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games site.
The Council is now consulting on the Draft Hackney Wick Conservation Area Appraisal that accompanies the designation. The consultation period runs from 1 February 2010 to the 15 March 2010
The area is located immediately north of Hackney Wick station and forms part of the ‘Hackney Wick group of historic factories’, which extends further south into the London Borough of Tower Hamlets.
The location of the Conservation Area next to the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games site has made it open to investment and development interest; often leading to speculative demolition of historic buildings.
Conservation Areas enjoy special protection under the law and Hackney Council designated Hackney Wick Conservation Area ahead of public consultation to help preserve its historic buildings and open spaces. However, the current consultation offers a chance for the public to comment on the designation and Draft Conservation Area Appraisal.
