This important building is still being used for its intended function of providing secure employment for local people, which is more valuable to the community than providing another development of luxury housing.

You need jobs to enable people to buy the houses. Jobs first, developers second.

Having lived in the East End of London for over thirty years I have seen the industrial buildings heritage vanish at an alarming rate and feel that what is left must be saved or left in its original state.

It is vital that Bow maintains it's work spaces. Algha Works must remain a factory and the building should remain as it is, an essential part of Fish Island's character.

The scale of the single storey addition is reasonable. The proposed timber cladding does not share the same durability and sense of permanence of the original brick facade, and inevitably will end up looking cheap and tired within a few years. A brick which matches or complements the original building would be a better solution

As a local business owner we want to see the true heritage of Hackney Wick preserved and not destroyed.

I am a resident of Hackney Wick and greatly value the historic buildings in our area. We have a duty to conserve them and the planning application is an affront which should be refused.

A fine industrial building whose present character is well worth preserving as an integral part of the local environment.
