The Greenwich Council Planning Board met to discuss two planning applications: a deferred application for student housing at Greenwich Quay, and a new application for a mixed-use development at Millennium Retail Park. The board refused the Greenwich Quay application, citing concerns over height, massing, and impact on the local townscape and the Greenwich Maritime World Heritage Site. The board approved the Millennium Retail Park application, subject to conditions and a Section 106 agreement, after discussing traffic, infrastructure, and community benefits.
