Planning committee
Decided by Greenwich Local Planning Committee on 24 Mar 2026. Earlier deferred on 27 Jan 2026.
Refused
- Officers advised approval because the HMO would provide acceptable accommodation without unacceptable effects on neighbours, design or transport.
- Residents objected to noise, parking, over-concentration, waste, safety, overlooking and the loss of a family home.
- The committee voted 0 in favour, 2 against and 2 abstentions, then refused the application because of noise and disturbance.
