Decision
Awaiting decision
Decision expected by 30 September 2026, 8 weeks from validation under the statutory target for most applications. Extensions of time are common and are agreed case by case.
Lewisham took a median of 53 days over the applications it decided in the last year.
What happens while it is decided
The process from here
This application is with Lewisham for determination. The council publicises it, consults neighbours and technical bodies where required, and weighs the responses against local and national planning policy.
The statutory target is eight weeks for most applications and thirteen for major development, though extensions of time are common. Comments carry most weight while the case is undecided, so check the council portal for the deadline if you want to respond.
About this record
Reading the register
This page mirrors an entry on the statutory planning register that Lewisham is required to keep. The published feed for this record does not state which type of application it is, which is common for older entries and for some council systems; the register entry on the council portal will say, alongside the case officer and any consultation dates.
Every planning application follows the same broad path: submission, validation, publicity, then a decision by officers or committee. Our guide to planning application types explains the common types and what each can approve.
