The Local Planning Committee meeting on Tuesday 29 September 2026 saw all planning applications withdrawn or deferred. The committee was unable to make decisions on any of the listed planning applications due to withdrawals by applicants or requests for site visits.

Planning Applications Deferred or Withdrawn

All planning applications on the agenda were either withdrawn by the applicant or deferred for further consideration.

• Felixstowe Road Dept and Mottisfont Garages, Abbey Wood, London, SE2 9SG (Ref: 24/2570/F): This application was withdrawn by the applicant and therefore deferred.
• King William IV Hotel, 155-159 Trafalgar Road, Greenwich, London, SE10 9TX (Ref: 25/2650/F): This application was also withdrawn by the applicant and subsequently deferred.
• 82 Bramblebury Road, Plumstead, London, SE18 7TG (Ref: 25/3700/F): The committee resolved to defer this application to allow for a site visit.
• 12 Halons Road, Eltham, London, SE9 5BS (Ref: 25/4154/F): A site visit was requested for this application, leading to its deferral.
• 70 St Margarets Terrace, Plumstead, London, SE18 7RN (Ref: 26/0626/F): This application was deferred to enable a site visit to take place.

Following these deferrals and withdrawals, Councillor Jeremy Fraser, Chair of Planning, informed members of the public present that no further decisions would be made during the meeting. The committee then proceeded to discuss the minutes of the previous meeting held on 14 July 2026.

Minutes of Previous Meeting

Councillor George Edgar raised a concern regarding the accuracy of the minutes from the 14 July 2026 meeting, specifically relating to item number five concerning Vicarage Park. Councillor Edgar stated that a discussion regarding the adequacy of an environmental assessment and the potential for further conditions had not been accurately recorded. He recalled that the Chair had agreed to consider this as a condition if planning officers did not object, and that officers had not dissented. The minutes, however, did not reflect this discussion, and the final paragraph on the item ended mid-sentence.

The Chair, Councillor Jeremy Fraser, acknowledged Councillor Edgar's recollection and stated that his memory aligned with Councillor Edgar's. He mentioned an exchange of emails with the Chair where this was confirmed. However, Alex Smith, an officer, stated that after reviewing the video recording, they could not see any additional conditions being requested beyond those already added. Alex Smith explained that re-evaluating the ecological assessment would have gone back to the heart of the consent and would have needed to be done before a decision was made.

To resolve the discrepancy, the Chair suggested that Alex Smith and the minute-taker review the video recording again and send an email to Councillor Edgar. The Chair expressed a preference not to defer the agreement of the minutes for too long but accepted that the differing memories could potentially cause issues for future applications. Alex Smith confirmed that the only conditions added were those mentioned in the draft decision and that no new conditions regarding an ecological survey were noted. The committee agreed to proceed on this basis, acknowledging that the minutes could not be agreed at this meeting. The Chair thanked the officers for their time, noting that it had been a wasted evening for them due to the lack of decisions.
