Delegated powers
We want your input on our draft Planning Enforcement Plan, which will guide our approach to tackling breaches in planning regulation in Lewisham - we're re-opening our July/August consultation for more public feedback:
- have your say - complete the survey before 23 December 2024
We're currently experiencing an issue with our website where some of our planning documents are unavailable.
If you need a planning document that's currently not available from our website, please email planning@lewisham.gov.uk for a copy.
These are mainly minor applications which generate little or no public interest. Designated Officers carefully consider the recommendations which are made by the Case Officer and the decision is agreed and issued by the designated officer.
Applications that are not determined under delegated powers
Applications that have received ten or more objections that are material planning considerations, are referred to Planning Committee. Or applications where an objection from an amenity society is received will be referred to a Chairs’ Review meeting. If an application is a departure from adopted policy it will also be referred to Planning Committee.
