Planning Group Review 2024
The Society planning group, consisting of 10 volunteers, reviews planning applications and also issues of planning policy for Blackheath, involving both Lewisham and Greenwich Councils.
In 2024, we examined a total of 628 planning applications for building and tree works. This was 7% down on 2023. This total embraces a huge range of project complexity, ranging from minor works on trees to major projects involving weeks of work and in some cases liaison with residents. 39 of these applications were examined in detail, and submissions made to the relevant council.
