Planning committee

Deferred by Greenwich Local Planning Committee on 14 Jul 2026.

Deferred

  • Officers advised approval because the HMO and extensions would provide suitable accommodation without unacceptable effects on neighbours, highways or the streetscape.
  • Objectors raised concerns about parking, noise, safety, waste management, acoustics, infrastructure and the character of the neighbourhood.
  • The committee voted to defer the application for a traffic survey, with eight votes in favour and one abstention.
