Lewisham Council's Planning Committee A has granted retrospective approval for a terrace at Skehans Freehouse, located at 1 Kitto Road, London, SE14.
The committee convened on Tuesday, 7 October 2025, to review several planning and licensing applications. Concerns had been raised by residents and Councillor Luke Sorba regarding noise levels emanating from the pub, leading to a review of Condition 5(a) of the planning report to extend the acoustic screening. The committee requested detailed drawings reflecting these changes.
The decision allows Skehans Freehouse to maintain the terrace constructed above the existing conservatory, along with an elevated walkway. The meeting minutes indicate that the committee voted to grant permission for the retrospective application, subject to the conditions set out in the report.
The Planning Committee A included Councillors Peter Bernards (Chair), John Paschoud, Liz Johnston-Franklin, Hilary Moore, Stephen Penfold, James Royston, Luke Warner, and Hau-Yu Tam.
