The Local Planning Committee was scheduled to consider several planning applications, including proposals for a nursery, changes of use to Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs), and extensions to a hotel and a social club. The committee was also scheduled to review the minutes of previous meetings.

409 Green Lane, Eltham, London, SE9 3TE - Ref: 25/3321/F

The committee was scheduled to consider a proposal to grant full planning permission for the reconfiguration of a front driveway, the provision of ancillary structures, replacement of a front ground floor opening, alterations to the front main entrance, and the subdivision of a rear garden. The proposal also included changing the use of the ground floor from a residential dwelling (Use Class C3) to a nursery (Use Class E(f)). The report pack indicated a recommendation to grant planning permission, subject to conditions.

This application was scheduled to be considered for the refusal of full planning permission for a change of use from a dwellinghouse (Use Class C3) to a six-person, six-bedroom, small HMO (Use Class C4). The proposal also included the construction of a single-storey ground floor rear extension, a loft conversion with rear and side wrap-around dormers, the addition of a rooflight on the front roof slope, and associated external alterations. The report pack indicated a recommendation for refusal, citing non-compliance with emerging policy H6 of the Royal Borough of Greenwich Regulation 19 Publication Draft Local Plan regarding the gross internal area of the property.

The application also included the removal of an existing side infill extension, the provision of cycle and refuse storage, and other associated works. The report pack indicated a recommendation for refusal, citing non-compliance with emerging policy H6 of the Royal Borough of Greenwich Regulation 19 Publication Draft Local Plan regarding the gross internal area of the property.

70 St Margarets Terrace, Plumstead, London, SE18 7RN - Ref: 26/0626/F

This item was scheduled for consideration regarding the refusal of full planning permission for the construction of a single-storey side infill extension and an L-shaped rear dormer extension. These works were intended to facilitate the change of use from a single-family dwelling house (Class C3) to a six-bedroom HMO with a maximum capacity of six persons (Use C4), with associated cycle parking and waste storage. The report pack indicated a recommendation for refusal, citing non-compliance with emerging policy H6 of the Royal Borough of Greenwich Regulation 19 Publication Draft Local Plan regarding the gross internal area of the property.
