Greenwich Council's Local Planning Committee approved plans for six new homes in Plumstead in July 2026, despite objections from local residents. Among the concerns raised were questions about the adequacy of ecological surveys conducted for the development and potential harm to wildlife habitat on the site, which was previously used for stables.

The committee granted planning permission for the development on land to the rear of 39-50 Vicarage Park. No further discussions or decisions specifically concerning ecological surveys for this site are currently scheduled in the provided material.
