DCC Planning's letter of objection

Before you object you may wish to read the letter of objection from our planning consultant David Cranmer at DCC Planning. If you agree with this letter and wish to object on the same grounds simply copy the following into the "your comment" box on the Lewisham Planning Portal:


I object to planning application DC/25/139604. I agree with and support the detailed objection submitted on 19th November 2025 by DCC Town Planning on behalf of local residents and object on the same grounds. I urge Lewisham Council to refuse this application.
