Hi all,
we've finally had a response from Lewisham Council, we're invited to a virtual meeting to discuss the planning application please see below, do join if you can and feel free to send any questions to the planning department in advance of the meeting (by tomorrow, sorry for short notice).
Dear Resident,
Planning Application DC/24/137745 – Lee Meeting Hall, Woodyates Road SE12
The continued use of the meeting hall at Lee Meeting Hall, Woodyates Road, SE12 for religious worship, together with; construction of single storey extensions to the north-west and south-east elevations of the meeting hall, changes to the layout of the existing car parking, the addition of a new bike store, and the removal of the existing air conditioning unit for a new air source heat pump.
For the above planning application a number of objections and concerns have been received and in these cases it is Council policy to offer to hold a meeting with these local residents to enable an assessment to be made of the areas of concern before the application is considered by the Council's Planning Committee.
A virtual meeting has now been arranged for Wednesday 19th March 2025 from 7:30pm to 8.30pm and you are invited to attend. This will be chaired by a Ward Councillor and will provide an opportunity for residents to pose questions to the applicant regarding the proposals, as well as any questions in relation to the planning process to members of the Planning Service.
The meeting will be held virtually on Microsoft Teams, and can be accessed by the following main link below:
Meeting ID: 386 725 043 49
Passcode: Aa2W86LK
The local meeting will follow an agenda of the main themes of objection but specific questions can also be submitted in advance.
If you wish to submit a question or questions in advance, please do so via email to:
planning@lewisham.gov.uk
with the subject of the email as “LOCAL MEETING QUESTION: PLANNING APPLICATION REFERENCE NUMBER DC/24/137745”.
In order to allow sufficient time for questions to be reviewed, we would ask that these are submitted by Friday 14 March 2025 at the latest please.
Unfortunately due to the number of objections received in relation to the proposed development it may not be possible to ensure that all specific questions are responded to individually but we will endeavour to ensure that all main themes of objection are addressed.
Yours sincerely,
Dean Gibson
Principal Planning Officer
