Proposal

Prior Approval is sought for the change of use of the ground floor commercial unit from a travel agency (Use Class E) to residential use, integrating the space with the existing first-floor residential flat to form a single, unified two-bedroom dwellinghouse (Use Class C3) under Permitted Development Class MA. Total Commercial Floor Space to be Converted: 64.34 square metres. Lawful Use History: The ground floor has been in continuous, lawful commercial use (Use Class E) for a period exceeding the mandatory 2-year baseline. Proposed Structural Changes: No proposed structural changes. Internal alterations limited entirely to the formation of a new opening in a non-load-bearing stud-partition wall, to link the ground floor seamlessly to the existing internal staircase leading upstairs. The property retains its existing main entrance and side entrances. No external structural alterations or changes to the building footprint are proposed. Data via plota.co.uk

Site constraints 10

Flood zone 3, rivers and sea
High chance: a 1 in 100 or greater annual chance from rivers, or 1 in 200 from the sea. Any development here needs a flood risk assessment. Defences are not counted.
The Environment Agency flood map for planning. Homes in zone 3 must also pass the sequential test. Surface water flooding is a separate map.
Flood map ↗
East Greenwich conservation area
Demolition needs planning permission and permitted development is restricted.
The council must give weight to preserving or enhancing the area's character and appearance. Not every council has published its boundaries as open data.
Council document ↗
National infrastructure project: Thames Tideway Tunnel
The site is inside the project boundary. Waste water treatment, decided. The project page says whether consent was granted. Also within 2 km: Silvertown Tunnel (decided, 886 m); London Strategic Heat Main Project (at pre-application, 4 m).
Nationally significant infrastructure projects (power stations, electricity lines, pipelines, major roads and railways, harbours, airports and reservoirs) are consented by a Secretary of State under the Planning Act 2008, after an examination by the Planning Inspectorate, rather than by the council. The boundary is the one the Inspectorate consults on and can change as the scheme does. Projects are shown within 2 km of the site.
Planning Inspectorate project page ↗
Archaeological priority area
An assessment or field evaluation may be asked for before ground works.
The council or Historic England considers archaeology likely here. A desk-based assessment, and sometimes trial trenching, can be asked for with the application.
Air quality management area: Greenwich AQMA
The council has declared the area as failing an air quality objective.
Schemes that add traffic, parking or combustion plant are assessed against the area's action plan and may need an air quality assessment.
