Planning application

Commercial Unit 1 Biscuit Walk London Southwark SE16 4FB

Awaiting decision Southwark 26/AP/2191

Works: Windows or glazing

Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.

Proposal

The installation of air conditioning units with acoustic enclosure outside of the building footprint at ground level and glazing alteration including introducing vinyl detailing to the east and northern facades and frosted crystal vinyl and fluted grey vinyl to the western elevation to obscure the back of house facilities. Additional details for consultation: Please note that there are three related applications which deal with the establishment of a national multiple food store operator in this commercial unit (26/AP/1753), the establishment of air conditioning units and glazing alternations (26/AP/2191), and associated signage (26/AP/2192).

What happens while it is decided

The process from here

This application is with Southwark 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 Southwark 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.
