Lee Green Planning Applications and Decisions

Application Reference: DC/26/143559

Application Address: 125 Burnt Ash Road, London, SE12 8RA

Application Proposal: Retrospective planning permission for the construction of a single storey rear extension to the existing office at 125 Burnt Ash Road SE12.

STATUS: LB of Lewisham has GRANTED retrospective planning application to this single storey ground extension.

This is a ‘retrospective’ application so it would appear as though works may already have taken place.

The property is the old ‘Lee Off License’ which is now Morrisons.

If works have already taken place then it is ‘likely’ that the only tree in place to the rear of the ‘113-133 Burnt Ash Road’ properties will also have been removed without permission.

LMS have reviewed this Application and determined not to object as the works do not directly and clearly affect the Conservation Area.

Application Reference: DC/26/143980

Application Address: 2-4 Brightfield Road, London, SE12 8QF

Application Proposal: The change of use from a beauty salon (Use Class Sui Generis) to a flexible commercial, business, and service use (Use Class E).

STATUS: LB of Lewisham has GRANTED approval to the change-of-use proposal.

LMS had no objections to this proposed change-of-use use as it does not affect either the internal or external aspects of the building.

Application Reference: DC/26/144287

Application Address: 12 Manor Lane, London, SE13 5QP

Application Proposal: Construction of an additional roof extension on the outrigger roofslope, replacement of the artificial slate with natural slate, repositioning a front rooflight, installation of a flat roof light, replacement of the Juliet balcony and extension doors with aluminium windows and doors, installation of an AC unit, replacement of uPVC rainwater goods with aluminium and all associated works.

STATUS: LB of Lewisham has REFUSED approval to this application.

LMS had objected to the construction of a further second floor loft extension over the existing rear outrigger building on the basis of the guidance given within the A+E SPD for rear roofslope developments for buildings within conservation areas.

Application Reference: DC/26/144484

Application Address: 64 Manor Lane, London, SE13 5QP

Application Proposal: Demolition of existing garage and construction of single storey garage.

STATUS: LB of Lewisham have GRANTED Planning Permission for the proposed replacement garage works.

LMS provided a neutral stance on this application but did inform the Council that in their opinion this application lacked sufficient drawn and detailed information to take an informed decision on the detail of this proposed building.

Whilst the Council did not directly acknowledge LMS’s concerns they did apply Conditions on the approval that stated that in terms of Materials and Design Quality:

(a) ‘Prior to the commencement of above ground works (excluding demolition and site investigations), further details of the external materials and features (”the works”) shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the local planning authority.

Such details shall include a materials schedule comprising specifications, detailed drawings (at an appropriate scale) and samples (where necessary) for all of the following: Brickwork, mortar, bond and joint profile.

(b) Prior to the first occupation of the development, the works shall be implemented in full accordance with the details approved by part (a) and shall be retained thereafter for the lifetime of the development’.

LMS considers that this should allay our concerns.

Application Reference: DC/26/144544

Application Address: 59 Micheldever Road, London, SE12 8LU

Application Proposal: Installation of an air conditioning unit to the rear of the property.

STATUS: NOT YET DETERMINED

The proposal is for a new air conditioning unit to be installed on the flat roof of an existing rear single storey extension building.

LMS sees no reason to object to this submission as it does not affect the visual amenity of the Lee Manor Conservation Area.

Application Reference: DC/26/144575

Application Address: 13 Manor Lane, London SE13

Application Proposal: Demolition of the existing rear single-storey glazed infill extension and construction of a new rear infill extension, lowering of the cill to the existing ground floor rear kitchen window and installation of a new replacement window, removal of the existing uPVC windows to the property and replacement with new timber framed casement windows on all elevations.

STATUS: LB of Lewisham has GRANTED planning permission for the proposed (mostly window replacement) works.

LMS did not object to this application.

Application Reference: DC/26/144597

Application Address: 35A Burnt Ash Hill, London, SE12 0AE

Application Proposal: Change of use of the existing ground floor commercial unit from Sui Generis (former taxi office) to Class E for the use as a café/coffee shop with ancillary food preparation and the sale of hot and cold food and drinks for consumption on and off the premises, installation of advertising to the front elevation and associated internal works.

STATUS: LB of Lewisham has GRANTED this application.

This commercial property does not sit within the conservation area so LMS have not formulated a response to the application. The proposed works (including new external signage) do not appear to cause any concern.

Application Reference: DC/26/144831

Application Address: 62 Burnt Ash Road, London, SE12 8PY

Application Proposal: REAR: ONE dead Cherry (T3)(ht.6.5m) FELL. Duty to replace applies. Reason: Dead tree.

Reason: Tree is growing from under a brick wall with a heavy lean.

REAR: ONE Ash (T5) LATERAL REDUCE 1x rubbing leaning stem (as per photo) by 4m from 6m to 2m.

Reason: To stabilise leaning tree.

STATUS: LB of Lewisham has RAISED NO OBJECTION to the proposed tree works.

LMS saw no reason to object to this submission for removal of rear garden trees due to existence of numerous other trees within the rear garden vicinity.

Application Reference: DC/26/144874

Application Address: 73 Taunton Road, London, SE12 8PA

Application Proposal: ONE Eucalyptus (T1) CROWN REDUCE HEIGHT by 2m from 14m to 12m & LATERALS by 2m from 6m to 4m on all compass points.

A cotoneaster growing in the front garden between the ground and first floor windows. The crown will be reduced in height and spread to prevent contact with the building and reduce shading to the window openings, while maintaining a balanced natural form.

STATUS: LB of Lewisham has RAISED NO OBJECTION to the proposed front and rear garden tree maintenance works.

As far as LMS are aware this application was not published on the Planning Portal until the Decision was taken.

LMS would not have objected to the proposed tree maintenance works.

Application Reference: DC/26/144911

Application Address: Mayfields Hostel, 47 Burnt Ash Hill, London, SE12 0AE

Application Proposal: Details submitted pursuant to Condition 13-Hard Landscaping of planning permission DC/23/132184 dated 1st February 2024.

Application Reference: DC/26/144912

Application Address: Mayfields Hostel, 47 Burnt Ash Hill, London, SE12 0AE

Application Proposal: Details submitted pursuant to Condition 12 – Soft Landscaping: Native and Wildlife-Friendly Species of planning permission DC/23/132184 dated 1st February 2024.

STATUS: LB of Lewisham has GRANTED approval to this Condition submission.

LMS saw no reason to comment on the proposals.

This application sets out the soft landscaping proposals surrounding the Mayfields Hostel site further to the approval of the proposed residential works.

Application Reference: DC/26/145060

Application Address: St Monica, Micheldever Road, London, SE12 8LX

Application Proposal: T1 Red Oak – Rear garden LHB: Crown Reduction – To reduce overall canopy by up to 3 metres shaping accordingly. Remove major deadwood. Height is currently 16 metres reducing to 13 metres by a spread of 11 metres reducing to 9 metres on all compass points.

T2 Pear – Rear garden: Crown Reduction – To reduce overall canopy by up to 1 metre shaping accordingly. Remove major deadwood. Height is currently 11 metres reducing to 10 metres by a spread of 6 metres reducing to 5 metres on all compass points.

Height is currently 8 metres remaining by a spread of 5 metres reducing to 3.5 metres on the western compass points.

Reason for work – General Maintenance.

STATUS: LB of Lewisham has RAISED NO OBJECTION to the proposed front and rear garden tree maintenance works.

As far as LMS are aware this application was not published on the Planning Portal until the Decision was taken.

LMS would not have objected to the proposed tree maintenance works.

Application Reference: DC/26/145243

Application Address: 30 Brightfield Road, London, SE12 8QF

Application Proposal: Installation of replacement timber sash windows at the front and rear elevations.

STATUS: NOT YET DETERMINED

The proposed windows show the use of ‘planted-on’ glazing bars to create the division of the upper and lower sashes and such means has no proven durability of the glue used for this purpose. LMS have as a result logged a simple objection on that basis but do not expect LB of Lewisham to take any notice.

Application Reference: DC/26/145332

Application Address: 52 Manor Lane, London, SE13 5QP

Application Proposal: REAR: ONE Lime tree (T1) Ht 10m FELL close to ground level. Do not treat stump due to translocation risk.

REASON: The tree works are proposed to stop the influence of the tree(s) on the soil below building foundation level & provide long term stability to 56 Kellerton Rd.

STATUS: NOT YET DETERMINED

This is a slightly convoluted application – the Applicant appears to be a company acting on behalf of the owners (presumably) of 56 Kellerton Road (not in the Lee Manor conservation area) in order to fell a tree at the bottom of the garden of 52 Manor Lane which appears to be causing subsidence to the rear extension of the property in Kellerton Road. Accordingly even if the application is granted it would still require the owner/occupier of 52 Manor Lane to be notified of the works and to agree to them which of course is not guaranteed.

LMS have submitted an objection on purely administrative grounds for the moment to see if we can get some clarity on this application.

Application Reference: DC/26/145427

Application Address: 49 Micheldever Road, London, SE12 8LU

Application Proposal: Installation of replacement timber double-glazed windows to front elevation, uPVC windows and a door to the side elevation and uPVC windows to the rear elevation

STATUS: NOT YET DETERMINED

This submission lacks a good deal of information related to the proposed replacement windows. LMS have objected as a result.

Application Reference: DC/26/145485

Application Address: 81 Micheldever Road, London, SE12 8LU

Application Proposal: FRONT: ONE dead Cherry (T1) FELL.

Reason: safety, the tree is over hanging a public footpath which has heavy foot fall as the school is near by. Duty to replace applies.

FRONT: ONE Eucalyptus (T2)(ht.11m, s.4m) CROWN REDUCE HEIGHT by 2.5m to ht.8.5m, LATERAL REDUCE SPREAD by 1m from 4m to 3m.

Reason: to manage the tree within the front garden.

Back garden: REAR: ONE dead Mimosa (T3) FELL.

Reason: the tree has died. Duty to replace applies.

STATUS: NOT YET DETERMINED

LMS can see no reason to challenge this application and so will not object to the proposed tree works on the basis that a duty to replace applies.

Application Reference: DC/26/142589

Application Address: 88 Woodyates Road, London, SE12 9JH

Application Proposal: Change of use of nursery (Use Class E(f)) to children’s residential home for up to 4 children (Use Class C2), together with bike and bins stores and all associated works.

STATUS: LB of Lewisham has REFUSED approval to this planning application proposal for a change of use from existing nursery to a children’s residential home.

The reasons stated for the Refusal are:

‘Insufficient evidence has been submitted to demonstrate that the proposed change of use to a children’s residential home (Use Class C2) would meet an identified local need for supported and specialised accommodation and insufficient information has been provided regarding the intended service offer, operational and referral arrangements and the needs of intended occupiers, contrary to Policy H12 of the London Plan (2021) and Policy HO6 of the Lewisham Local Plan (2025)’. See application DC/26/143164 below for a very similar application type which was Granted by LB of Lewisham. We can only assume that the technical requirements of this submission were insufficient for the Council’s needs to determine this application in the same way as the application noted below has been determined. This could indicate that the Applicant may make a re-submission of this application once those issues have been addressed by them.

Application Reference: DC/26/143164

Application Address: 67 St Mildreds Road, London, SE12 0RE

Application Proposal: Change of use of the existing dwelling house (Use Class C3(a) into a children’s care home (Use Class C2), the construction of a single-storey extension to the rear, together with the provision bike and bin storage in the front.

STATUS: LB of Lewisham has GRANTED approval to this planning application proposal for a change of use from residential to a childrens care home. This can be compared to DC/26/142589 above which was Refused for a very similar proposal.

LMS did not previously review or comment on these proposals.

Application Reference: DC/26/144147

Application Address: 106 Burnt Ash Road, London, SE12 8PU

Application Proposal: Retrospective Planning Permission for the replacement of the front boundary wall with metal railings.

STATUS: LB of Lewisham has REFUSED this retrospective application for the replacement of the existing low level front boundary wall with black painted metal railings.

LMS had objected to the proposed works on the basis of the full loss of the original brickwork wall and its replacement with a metal fence type that has no precedent along this row of houses.

Application Reference: DC/26/144287

Application Address: 12 Manor Lane, London, SE13 5QP

Application Proposal: Construction of an additional roof extension on the outrigger roofslope, replacement of the artificial slate with natural slate, repositioning a front rooflight, installation of a flat roof light, replacement of the Juliet balcony and extension doors with aluminium windows and doors, installation of an AC unit, replacement of uPVC rainwater goods with aluminium and all associated works.

STATUS: NOT YET DETERMINED

This application sets out a good number of perfectly reasonable works to upgrade this property. However, together with the existing rear roof slope extension which is not set back from the eaves of the existing rear roofslope, the proposal to construct a new second floor roof extension over and above the existing outrigger roof means that the entirety of the character of the rear of this building will be overwhelmed by this development.
We note that 2 Manor Lane has already been extended in a similar manner to that proposed here (over the rear outrigger roof), but that of the remaining outrigger rear roofs in the row of houses within which no. 12 is set, all remain in their original form between nos 4 to 44 other than no. 2.
LMS have objected to these proposals on the basis of the guidance given within the A+E SPD for rear roofslope developments for buildings within conservation areas.

Application Reference: DC/26/144306

STATUS: LB of Lewisham have GRANTED this Condition submission.

The application relates to a submission for discharge of a variety of Conditions emanating out of the approval in Feb 2025 of application DC/23/133105.

LMS saw no reason to have any concerns with the submission although the construction process will affect local residents.

Application Reference: DC/26/144313

Application Address: 106C Burnt Ash Road, London SE12 8PU

Application Proposal: Retrospective application for the replacement of timber sash windows with uPVC sliding sash windows to the front elevation.

STATUS: LB of Lewisham has REFUSED approval to this retrospective planning application for replacement uPVC windows to the front elevation of this property at first floor level.

LMS had objected to these proposals for uPVC windows facing the public highway.

Application Reference: DC/26/144332

Application Address: 136 Manor Lane, London, SE12 8LR

Application Proposal: Construction of a single-storey rear extension.

STATUS: LB of Lewisham has PERMITTED the proposed ground floor rear extension works.

LMS had no concerns with the proposed works.

This appears to be a straightforward rear property single-storey ground floor extension and as such there is no reason to have any concerns.

Application Reference: DC/26/144339

Application Address: 73 Taunton Road, London, SE12 8PA

Application Proposal: Alterations and repairs to the existing roof including the installation of replacement roof light, roof tiles Redland 49 concrete tiles with Cedral Thurstone slates and PVCU fascia boards, soffits, guttering and downpipes with PVCU., together with Internal works to strengthen roof structure, re-point chimney stack and replace leadwork and blown rendering to parapet walls.

STATUS: LB of Lewisham has GRANTED this application for the replacement of roofing and ancillary works.

LMS had objected to the proposed use of fibre cement roof tiles and this was modified by the Applicant to ‘natural slate’ tiled roof which is acceptable.

Application Reference: DC/26/144759

Application Address: 33 Micheldever Road, London, SE12 8LX

Application Proposal: ONE Holm Oak (T1) CROWN REDUCE HEIGHT by 1m from 8m to 7m, LATERALS by 1m from 5m to 4m on all compass points. Remove as much dead rose growth from within the crown as possible, retaining any live rose. The crown reduction will keep the tree in proportion to its position, reduce end-weight on the lateral limbs and maintain a balanced, natural shape while retaining the tree as an amenity feature.

STATUS: LB of Lewisham has RAISED NO OBJECTION to the proposed tree maintenance and pruning works.

Yet again this application did not appear on the Planning Portal until it was determined as approved by the Council.

LMS had no opportunity to review these works but would not have objected.

Application Reference: DC/26/144911

Application Address: Mayfields Hostel, 47 Burnt Ash Hill, London, SE12 0AE

Application Proposal: Details submitted pursuant to Condition 13-Hard Landscaping of planning permission DC/23/132184 dated 1st February 2024.

STATUS: NOT YET DETERMINED

This application sets out the hard landscaping proposals surrounding the Mayfields Hostel site further to the approval of the proposed residential works.

Application Proposal: Details submitted pursuant to Condition 17-Wheelchair Units of planning permission DC/23/132184 dated 1st February 2024.

STATUS: NOT YET DETERMINED

This application for discharge of a Condition of the previously approved application (as noted above) provides a variety of proposed flat formats and shows the accessibility of each apartment in terms of their dimensional layouts.

LMS sees no reason to object to this submission.

Application Reference: DC/25/141753

Application Address: Leegate Shopping Centre, Leegate, London, SE12

Application Proposal: Details submitted pursuant to Condition 4-Construction Environment Management Plan of planning permission DC/22/126997 dated 1st November 2024.

STATUS: LB of Lewisham has GRANTED discharge of the Condition to which this proposal relates.

LMS made no comment on this submission.

A ‘Construction Environmental Management Plan’ has been submitted to discharge Condition 4 of the previously approved Leegate development submission ref DC/22/126997 as approved 1^st November 2024. The report highlights the environmental factors which arise as a matter of the demolition and construction works proposed.

LMS sees no reasons to challenge this submission albeit the report makes reference to its neighbor being ‘Tesco’s’ and there is no particular mention of asbestos removal during demolition works.

See also DC/25/141753

Application Reference: DC/25/140778

Application Address: Leegate Shopping Centre, Leegate, London, SE12

Application Proposal: Details submitted pursuant to Condition (5) ‘Construction Logistics Plan’ of planning permission DC/22/126997 dated 1st November 2024.

STATUS: NOT YET DETERMINED

LMS have generally reviewed the proposed Logistics Plan and could not see anything that gave us particular cause for concern other than the fact that no aspect of the ‘phasing’ of works appears to have been taken account of. Otherwise some construction traffic is shown exiting from Leyland Road onto Eltham Road (heading towards Kidbrooke) and this traffic has to cross on-coming westbound traffic. This is far from ideal but may be necessary. We have issued a comment to Lewisham Council related to the phasing of construction works but are otherwise happy not to object to this submission for approval of Condition 5. That is not to say however that local residents immediate to the area of the demolition and construction works may have their own concerns.

See also DC/26/144111 below which may possibly supercede this Application.

THIS APPLICATION HAS NOW BEEN SUBMITTED FOR OVER 1 YEAR.

Application Reference: DC/25/141753

The report highlights the environmental factors which arise as a matter of the demolition and construction works proposed.

LMS sees no reasons to challenge this submission albeit the report makes reference to its neighbor being ‘Tesco’s’ and there is no particular mention of asbestos removal during demolition works.

THIS APPLICATION HAS NOW BEEN SUBMITTED FOR AROUND 9 MONTHS.

Application Reference: DC/26/142792

Application Address: 40 Old Road, London, SE13 5SR

Application Proposal: Retrospective planning permission for change of use from Class C3(b) (small children’s care home for up to six people living together as a single household and receiving care) to Class C2 (children’s care home).

STATUS: NOT YET DETERMINED

This property is adjacent to and just outside of the north-eastern extremity of the boundary of the CA.

The proposed retrospective application appears to make no material changes to the fabric of the existing residential building and therefore LMS has no concerns in relation to this submission.

Application Reference: DC/26/142909

Application Address: 53 Manor Lane, London, SE13 5QW

Application Proposal: Installation of replacement double glazed timber sash windows at the front elevation.

STATUS: NOT YET DETERMINED

The existing upper window of each of the five sash windows proposed to be changed are divided into four separate single glazed elements with intermediate glazing bars. The proposal to recreate this four pane upper panel very clearly utilises glued (or planted) on glazing bars both internally and externally. The intermediate glazing bars are specified to be held in place using 3M Glazing Tape which does not have proven long term usage.
LMS have objected to these proposals.

Application Reference: DC/26/143495

Application Address: 125 Burnt Ash Road, London, SE12 8RA

Application Proposal: Retrospective planning permission for the construction of a single storey rear extension to the existing office at 125 Burnt Ash Road SE12.

STATUS: NOT YET DETERMINED

This is a ‘retrospective’ application so it would appear as though works may already have taken place.

The property is the old ‘Lee Off License’ which is now Morrisons.

If works have already taken place then it is ‘likely’ that the only tree in place to the rear of the ‘113-133 Burnt Ash Road’ properties will also have been removed without permission.

LMS have reviewed this Application and determined not to object as the works do not directly and clearly affect the Conservation Area.

The condensing unit will be visible at a low level from the public highway (within the shared rear access alleyway). Ideally The Unit would located behind a gate, to the rear of the property or within the rear garden.

LMS have objected to this application on the basis that it is visible from a public highway within a conservation area. If approved by Lewisham Council this could be used as precedent for other such condensing units to be made visible throughout the conservation area.

This application is no longer available on the Planning Portal and is assumed to be superceded by Application DC/26/144272 below.

However, being general maintenance works for three front garden and five rear garden trees, LMS would have seen no reason to have objected to the proposed submission.

Application Reference: DC/26/144111

Application Address: Leegate Shopping Centre, Leegate, London, SE12

Application Proposal: Details submitted pursuant to Condition 5-Construction Logistics Plan of planning permission DC/22/126997 dated 1st November 2024 (amended by DC/25/140732 dated 3rd February 2026).

STATUS: NOT YET DETERMINED

This appears to be a similar (if not identical) submission to that of DC/25/140778 (see above – which remains undetermined by LB of Lewisham). Both issue a Construction Logistics Plan (CLP) and a Travel Plan for approval.
The CLP appears updated from Issue 2 (submitted under DC/25/140778) to Issue 8 submitted under this Application. The Travel Plan appears updated from Issue 1 to Issue 4.
LMS have not reviewed the entirely of these documents but do not consider there to be any reasons to object to this submission.

Application Reference: DC/26/144112

Application Address: 40 Brightfield Road, London, SE12 8QF

Application Proposal: The installation of replacement timber double glazed windows and rear door.

STATUS: NOT YET DETERMINED

LMS has no concerns with regard to the rear window/door proposals.
With regard to the front windows we note that glued or ‘planted on’ window intermediate glazing bars are proposed. Normally LMS would object to such a proposal. However, in reviewing the proposed proportions of the new glazing bars they appear similar to existing and/or the original bars. On the basis that a system approach is being taken here (which presumably comes with a window guarantee as to the bonding of the intermediate glazing bars) LMS have determined not to object to this proposal subject to a further review.

Application Reference: DC/26/144186

Application Address: 18 Micheldever Road, London, SE12 8LX

Application Proposal: Installation of replacement double glazed windows in the front elevation.

STATUS: NOT YET DETERMINED

LMS has no concerns with regard to the new window proposals.

This appears to be a very well considered set of proposals with no concerns as to increased window member sizes (to enable double glazed units) or any proposals for planted on glazing beads.

Application Reference: DC/26/144272

Application Address: 87 Taunton Road, London, SE12 8PA

Application Proposal: Application for a Lawful Development Certificate (proposed) submitted under Section 192 of the Town & Country Planning Act 1990 (as amended) Class G of Schedule 2, Part 14 of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended) for the installation of an air source heat pump (ASHP).

STATUS: This Permitted Development Application has been GRANTED by Lewisham Council.

LMS originally objected to Planning Application ref DC/26/143683 (for the same works as are proscribed here) in April 2026. It was then determined by the Planning Officer that such works as were proposed could be installed under Permitted Development Rights subject to a number of checks.

Application Reference: DC/26/144290

Application Address: Former Garages, 1-13 Carston Close, London SE12 8DX

STATUS: NOT YET DETERMINED

Having reviewed this application LMS sees no reason to be concerned. The site is the far end of the Leegate Centre site for which LMS were advised of the outline proposals by London Square some weeks ago.

Application Reference: DC/26/144306

Application Address: Garages at land on western side of Millbank Way, London, SE12

Application Proposal: Details submitted pursuant to Condition 3-Construction Management Plan, Condition 4(a)-Ground Contamination, Condition 5-Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHP), Condition 6-Piling Method Statement, Condition 7-Materials and Detailed Design, Condition 9-Cycle Parking, Condition 11-Soft Landscaping and Replacement Trees, Condition 12-Boundary Treatment, Condition 13-Wildlife Enhancement Measures, Condition 14(a)-Biodiverse Living Roof, Condition 15(a)(b)-External Lighting, Condition 23-Sustainable Urban Drainage and Condition 26-Parking Management Plan of planning permission DC/23/133105 dated 11th February 2025

STATUS: NOT YET DETERMINED

LMS see no reason to have any concerns with this submission although the construction process will affect local residents.

Application Reference: DC/26/144313

Application Address: 106C Burnt Ash Road, London SE12 8PU

Application Proposal: Retrospective application for the replacement of timber sash windows with uPVC sliding sash windows to the front elevation.

STATUS: NOT YET DETERMINED

We note that this is a retrospective application implying that these works have already been carried out contrary to the removal of the Article 4 Direction that prevails over the Lee Manor Conservation Area.

LMS has objected to these proposals for uPVC windows facing the public highway.

Application Reference: DC/26/144332

Application Address: 136 Manor Lane, London, SE12 8LR

Application Proposal: Construction of a single-storey rear extension.

STATUS: NOT YET DETERMINED

This appears to be a straightforward rear property single-storey ground floor extension and as such there is no reason to have any concerns.

Application Reference: DC/26/144339

Application Address: 73 Taunton Road, London, SE12 8PA

Application Proposal: Alterations and repairs to the existing roof including the installation of replacement roof light, roof tiles Redland 49 concrete tiles with Cedral Thurstone slates and PVCU fascia boards, soffits, guttering and downpipes with PVCU., together with Internal works to strengthen roof structure, re-point chimney stack and replace leadwork and blown rendering to parapet walls.

STATUS: NOT YET DETERMINED

The proposed roof, fascia, soffit, guttering and ancillary associated works are to repair a roof and structure in serious need of repair due to previously applied heavy concrete roof tiles.
The roof survey report does not require the use of artificial fibre cement ‘slate’ tiles (as proposed) but states that the engineering advise is: ‘to replace the concrete tiles with lighter slates or artificial slates like the neighbouring property’.
LMS fully accepts the need for the proposed works but has objected to the proposed use of artificial fibre cement roof tiles where natural Welsh (or similar) roof slates will recreate the original roofing material which will enhance the Conservation Area.

Application Reference: DC/26/144436

Application Address: Mayfields Hostel, 47 Burnt Ash Hill SE12.

Application Proposal: Details submitted pursuant to Condition 14-Surface Water of planning permission DC/23/132184 dated 1st February 2024.

STATUS: NOT YET DETERMINED

This application relates to a submission for discharge of Condition 14 of Planning Approval DC/23/132184 relating solely to issues of drainage which LMS feels should not affect the Lee Green area.

Application Reference: DC/26/144484

Application Address: 64 Manor Lane, London, SE13 5QP

Application Proposal: Demolition of existing garage and construction of single storey garage.

STATUS: NOT YET DETERMINED

LMS have submitted a neutral position to Lewisham Council on this application as we accept the premise of this re-construction but believe there is insufficient detail or thought apparent on the submitted drawing for the garage to be constructed to the level of detail required for such a building within the Conservation Area.

Application Reference: DC/26/142800

Application Address: Mayfields Hostel, 47 Burnt Ash Hill, London, SE12 0AE

Application Proposal: Details submitted pursuant to Condition 8(a)(b)-Land Contamination of planning permission DC/23/132184 dated 1st February 2024 at Mayfields Hostel.

STATUS: LB of Lewisham has GRANTED approval of this Condition submission.

This is a submission to fulfil a Condition of Planning Approval DC/23/132184 dated 1st February 2024.

LMS sees no reason to object to the proposed submission. One of the submitted reports states that there is a low likelihood of encountering any UXO in the ground due to previous development.

Application Reference: DC/26/143555

Application Address: 10 Handen Road, London, SE12 8NP

Application Proposal: REAR: ONE dead/dying Cherry tree (T1) Ht 11m FELL to ground level. REASON: Dead/dying.

ONE Ash tree (T2) LATERAL REDUCTION by 4m from 14m to 10m of overhanging branches (from number 8) on NW compass point .

REASON: This will balance out the canopy of the ash tree, and promote new growth.

REPLANTING PROPOSAL: Client is going to replace the old tree with another Cherry tree sapling as close to the location plot of the previous tree as possible.

STATUS: LB of Lewisham has RAISED NO OBJECTION to the proposed tree works.

These appear to be two mature trees rear garden trees in an area of numerous trees and should not be a concern.

LMS sees no reason to object to this application.

Application Reference: DC/26/143559

Application Address: 125 Burnt Ash Road, London, SE12 8RA

Application Proposal: Retrospective planning permission for the construction of a single storey rear extension to the existing office at 125 Burnt Ash Road SE12.

STATUS: NOT YET DETERMINED

This is a ‘retrospective’ application so it would appear as though works may already have taken place.

The property is the old ‘Lee Off License’ which is now Morrisons.

If works have already taken place then it is ‘likely’ that the only tree in place to the rear of the ‘113-133 Burnt Ash Road’ properties will also have been removed without permission.

LMS have reviewed this Application and determined not to object as the works do not directly and clearly affect the Conservation Area.

Application Reference: DC/26/143585

Application Address: 7 Micheldever Road, London, SE12 8LX

Application Proposal: Details submitted pursuant to Condition 4-Replacement Trees of planning permission DC/25/140894 dated 21st October 2025

STATUS: LB of Lewisham have GRANTED approval to this Condition submission.

Under GRANTED Planning Permission DC/25/140894 a proposed rear garden single storey extension required the removal of a number of trees which affected the proposed works. This application covers the planting of two new trees to replace those lost.

MS saw no reason to object to this submission.

Application Reference: DC/26/143713

Application Address: 87 Old Road, London, SE13 5SU

Application Proposal: Construction of an additional storey at roof level on the existing building to provide 3 self-contained flats and all associated works

STATUS: NOT YET DETERMINED

This is a proposal for a further roof top storey to be added to an existing 3-storey residential building just outside of the Conservation Area.

LMS have determined not to respond to this application as it is slightly outside of our area of concern.
