Planning committee
Decided by Greenwich Planning Board on 24 Feb 2026. The council has not yet issued its decision notice.
Approved unanimously
As officers recommended.
- Officers advised approval because housing, regeneration and other public benefits outweighed limited heritage harm, subject to conditions and obligations.
- One response supported redevelopment, while another questioned co-living, construction disruption and the amount of commercial space.
- Members voted unanimously to grant permission, subject to conditions and completion of a Section 106 agreement.
