The Planning Board meeting scheduled for 24 February 2026 was set to discuss several significant planning applications within the Royal Borough of Greenwich. Key items on the agenda included proposals for mixed-use redevelopment at Greenwich Millennium Village and Woolwich, as well as significant amendments to conditions for the Morden Wharf development. The meeting also included the confirmation of previous minutes and declarations of interest.

Phases 3, 4 And 5 Greenwich Millennium Village, Peartree Way, Greenwich, London, SE10 - Ref: 25/3074/MA

This application sought a minor material amendment to an existing planning permission. The report pack indicated that the discussion was scheduled to focus on amending planning permission 19/1545/MA, specifically concerning the addition of a planning condition. This condition would confirm that no development or works would take place on Plots 501 and 502 under this permission. The report pack also noted that this item had been considered at a previous meeting on 20 January 2026 and was deferred to allow for a site visit and for the applicant to respond to concerns raised regarding the loss of consented green public space.

Plots 501-503, Greenwich Millennium Village, Peartree Way, London SE10 0HZ - Ref: 25/3073/F

Full planning permission was scheduled to be sought for a mixed-use phased redevelopment of this site. The report pack detailed that the proposal included residential development at ground level and above, with flexible commercial uses (Class E) at ground floor. Associated elements such as vehicle access, servicing, car/cycle parking, landscaping, and public realm improvements were also listed for discussion. This item had also been considered at the 20 January 2026 meeting and deferred due to concerns about the loss of consented green space, the height and massing of a 20-storey block, its impact on light loss to adjacent properties, and cumulative impacts on protected world heritage views.

Morden Wharf, Located off Tunnel Avenue, Greenwich, London, SE10 0PA - Ref: 25/1985/MA

This application was under Section 73 of the Town & Country Planning Act 1990, seeking alterations to several conditions attached to a previous planning permission (Ref No 20/1730/O). The report pack indicated that the discussion was scheduled to cover amendments to conditions related to approved drawings, BREEAM standards for the Jetty building, final drainage schemes, reserved matters scope, approved drawings and parameter plans, quantum of development, development phasing, secure by design, biodiverse/biosolar green roofs/walls, occupation limits for specific buildings, and residential car parking. The report also noted that the Section 106 Legal Agreement was proposed to be amended to reduce the amount of affordable housing provided, with the applicant citing viability issues.

Morden Wharf, Located off Tunnel Avenue, Greenwich, London, SE10 0PA - Ref: 25/1986/R

This item concerned the approval of Reserved Matters and approved details pursuant to conditions related to Appearance, Landscaping, Scale, and Layout for the erection of several plots (B02, B03, B04, B05, B07, B08, B09, T1, T2, T3 and T4) and associated infrastructure. These details were to be considered in relation to planning permission 20/1730/O, as proposed to be varied by a Section 73 application.

1-4 Beresford Square, Woolwich, SE18 6BB - Ref: 25/2295/F

Full planning consent was scheduled to be sought for the demolition of the existing building to facilitate a mixed-use redevelopment. The proposal involved a single building, part 5 and part 6 storeys in height, to provide Co-Living Accommodation (Sui Generis) with ancillary facilities and commercial floorspace (Use Class E). Associated works including landscaping, cycle parking, accessible car parking, and refuse/recycling facilities were also listed for discussion. The report pack highlighted that design amendments had been made in response to heritage concerns, specifically regarding impacts on the Grade I listed Royal Brass Foundry.
