STATUS: LB of Lewisham have raised NO OBJECTION to the proposed works. LMS had no concerns over the proposed works.
Application Reference: DC/24/137550
Application Address: 64 Handen Road, London, SE12 8NR
Application Proposal: REAR THREE Lime trees(T1,T2,T3) REPOLLARD by 2m from 12m to 10m. REASON: Remove two meters of new growth, back to first pollard point. Trees getting very tall and overgrowing the garden at 64 and neighbours’ gardens. STATUS: LB of Lewisham have raised NO OBJECTION to the proposed works. LMS had no concerns over the proposed works.
Application Reference: DC/24/137570
Application Address: 3 Southbrook Road, London, SE12 8HL
Application Proposal: Construction of a new vehicle crossover, front garden bin storage, and associated works.
STATUS: NOT YET DECIDED – LMS have lodged an objection to this proposal on the basis that to remove a large part of the existing front garden wall will damage the character of this part of Southbrook Road and thus the Lee Manor Conservation Area, being that the wall in front of this property is the best example of a remaining front garden boundary wall on this stretch of road.
Application Reference: DC/24/137692
Application Address: 6 Manor Lane, London, SE13 5QP
Application Proposal: Construction of a rear roof extension and the installation of two rooflights at the front roof slope.
STATUS: Despite being ‘validated’ by LB of Lewisham since 17th October 2024 there remains no documents on the planning portal for anyone to review these proposals. LMS have written to Lewisham requesting the upload of the required documents but none have yet been forthcoming. As such we cannot yet determine our position on these proposals. Suffice to say that neighbouring properties along this stretch of Manor Lane north of Kellerton Road and on the west side of the Lane, have been significantly developed over the last 20 years and a significant proportion have rear full width dormer roof extensions removing entirely the existing rear roof plane contrary to current Planning Guidelines.
Application Reference: DC/24/137781 and 137782
Application Address: Telephone Kiosk outside 115 Burnt Ash Road, London SE12 8RA
Application Proposal: 137781 – Removal of existing telephone box and the installation of 1 no. new telephone communications kiosk with integrated advertising display.
137782 – Advertisement consent for the display of 1 no. digital advertisement within proposed new telephone communications kiosk.
STATUS: NOT YET DECIDED – LMS has lodged a ‘neutral stance’ on the proposals requesting that no advertising ‘noise’ is to emanate from the digital hoarding between the hours of 8am to 8pm (as this remains a residential area) and that the light levels of the ‘digital advertising’ is of a reasonably low level so as not to contribute to any significant form of light pollution within the area generally.
| Application Reference: DC/24/137867 Application Address: 45 Micheldever Road, London, SE12 8LU Application Proposal: Construction of a part one-storey and part two storey rear extension and replacement of the garage roof, together with alterations to the front and side elevation facades. Addtionally, the installation of an air source heat pump, PV panels, and all other associated work. STATUS: NOT YET DECIDED – This is a re-issue of a previously approved Application ref DC/24/134388 (decided 2nd April 2024) for which LMS’s comments were accepted by the Applicant and approval subsequently given by Lewisham. This new Application makes relatively minor changes to the previous approved application and then adds in rear facing roof mounted solar PV panels and an air sourced heat pump (ASHP) floor mounted externally along a rear wall of the property. We see no reason to object to any aspect of the proposed minor changes to this new Application nor to the installation of the solar panels and ASHP which (subject to detail) are possibly covered by permitted development rights anyway. |
Application Reference: DC/24/137997
Application Address: 71B Micheldever Road, London, SE12 8LU

ONE Yew tree (T2) LHB CROWN REDUCTION ht by 1m from 15m to 14m spread by 1m from 5m to 4m.
REASON: General Maintenance
STATUS: NOT YET DECIDED – in general LMS has no concerns over these proposed tree maintenance works. However, LMS have been unable to determine from the photographs provided with the Application as to which property the trunks of these two trees sit within and therefore as to the ownership of them.

Application Reference: Not Applicable
Application Address: 7 Handen Road, London, SE12
Application Proposal: On 26th September 2024 LMS were advised that ‘major building works on a 1970s rear extension’ were taking place at the above noted property and that such works as were occurring ‘appeared’ to have no related Planning Permission. The works seemed to include the removal of the entire back wall that used to have a door and a window in and its potential replacement with a full width picture window. There were also internal demolition works occurring which potentially required the lifting of the flat roof over the existing extension. Advice received from the contractor on site was that ‘all works occurring were to be within the existing walls of the house/extension’.
A review of LB of Lewisham’s Planning Portal indicated that no Planning Application or Conservation Area Consent had been lodged for any such works that might affect the exterior of the existing property. On the basis that structural steel beams were being evidenced ‘lifted over the house’ LMS also checked whether a Building Regulation’s application had been made to Lewisham Council and we were informed that ‘There is an application in place for building work at 7 Handen Road. The work is being overseen by a private building control company called Prime Construction Consultants Ltd’. As a result of the above LMS advised the neighbour concerned that they should approach Lewisham Council Planning Enforcement and that LMS would themselves also make a reference to the possible breach of Planning Approval to Planning Enforcement for their review – this was done on 1st October 2024.
