The Planning Committee A of Lewisham Council is scheduled to convene on Tuesday, 23 June 2026, to consider several planning applications. The meeting's agenda includes discussions on proposed alterations to properties at Foreshore, New Cross Road, and Lee High Road.

Foreshore, Lewisham, SE8 3AQ

Two applications are scheduled for discussion concerning the properties at 6-66 and 7-69 Foreshore, SE8 3AQ. These applications involve both full planning permission and listed building consent. The proposals centre on the installation of replacement rooflights, new fire-safe doors, and upgrades to the building's fire safety systems, including tanks in the basement, a ventilation system, and a new sprinkler system. The reports indicate that officers recommend approval for these works, subject to conditions. The properties are Grade II listed, and the reports detail the significance of the heritage assets and the potential impact of the proposed works. Concerns raised by objectors regarding harm to the listed building and the effectiveness of the fire safety measures are addressed within the documentation.

446 New Cross Road, London, SE14 6TY

The committee is set to consider a full planning application for 446 New Cross Road, SE14 6TY. This application seeks permission for the part demolition and alteration of the existing two-storey building to create a House in Multiple Occupation (HMO) for up to six occupants (Use Class C4). The proposals also include roof extensions, lightwells, the installation of an air source heat pump, and provision for cycle and bin storage. The report notes that officers recommend approval, subject to planning conditions and the securing of appropriate planning obligations. The application has generated over ten valid objections from local residents, raising concerns about the principle of the development, the concentration of HMOs, the standard of accommodation, design, heritage impact, and potential impacts on neighbouring living conditions and transport. The report details the site's context, including its location within an Air Quality Management Area and the Deptford High Street & St Pauls Church Conservation Area. A significant issue highlighted is the potential for land contamination due to the site's former use as a printing works, with a recommendation for a watching brief condition to manage this risk.

96-100 Lee High Road, London, SE13 5PT

The final application scheduled for discussion concerns 96-100 Lee High Road, SE13 5PT. This application is for external alterations to the property, including a new shopfront on the front elevation, changes to the flank elevation fenestration and door openings, the installation of rooflights, and cycle parking. It is important to note that the use of the premises is not part of this application, as confirmed by the applicant's agent. The report clarifies that any change of use would be considered separately. The application has received 12 valid objections from local residents, primarily related to the proposed use of the premises, which are not material considerations for this application. Officers recommend approval for the external alterations, subject to conditions regarding materials and the shopfront design. The site's location within Flood Zone 3 and an Air Quality Management Area are noted, and the report addresses potential impacts on biodiversity and the River Quaggy.

The meeting will also include the formal confirmation of minutes from a previous meeting held on 12 March 2026.
