Bexley (Parliament Politics Magazine) – A bungalow is to be demolished on Foots Cray Lane, Sidcup, and replaced by a pair of two-storey dwellings.
There will be parking both for cars and bikes, and electric vehicle charging.
At Woollett Hall Farm, located in Water Lane, Sidcup, a building detached from the main property, is subject to an application for change of use from storage to a dog grooming area.
The application suggests the change of use will offer the building a more productive use whilst maintaining the status quo with the current structure and the appearance and character of agricultural land use.
There is also a proposal to convert a house into a care home in St George’s Close, Belvedere.
Other recent uses consist of:
- In North Cray Road, Bexley, a detached two-story home with a garage is being built, and the old house is being altered.
- A workshop on Blackfen Road in Sidcup is being extended and transformed into two residential flats.
- Extensions on the ground and roof levels of Bexley’s Stable Lane.
- In Silverdale Road, Bexleyheath, extensions were built to the front, side, and rear after the garage conversion.
- Conditions were approved for a two-storey detached house on Braeside Crescent, Bexleyheath.
- Reinstatement of a sycamore tree in the conservation area of Bexley High Street has been completed.
- Townley Grammar School for Girls in Bexleyheath has an extension for a one-storey front addition.
- shift to an HMO in Arran Close, Erith, with six members.
- construction of a two-story end-terrace home on Sidcup’s Blackhorse Road. It’s HMO in Arran Close, Erith, for six residents.
To view the applications and for additional information, go to the Public Notice Portal.
All are presently awaiting the planning authority’s decisions.
What objections or support comments have been submitted?
When Bexley Council received public comments on the planning applications it processed recently, proposed developments included new homes, a care home, and a dog grooming salon, and those comments regularly included both objections and supportive comments.
Bexley Council encourages written comments to be submitted by members of the public in statutory timeframes, with the comments being made publicly available, and they are considered in the course of officers’/post-decision consideration by the Planning Committee, committee members.
Effective objections are grounded in material planning grounds that consider the council’s planning policies, not personal preferences or other matters.
Residents and stakeholders can check on applications and submit their written comment which will be public via Bexley’s planning portal to provide transparency and ensure community involvement in the planning system.
