Southwark Council's Planning Committee (Smaller Applications)
Southwark's Smaller Applications Planning Committee recently approved retrospective car hire parking at Myatts Field Court.
Southwark Council's Planning Committee (Smaller Applications) granted retrospective planning permission in September 2026 for part of the car park at Myatts Field Court, SE5, to be used for private hire vehicles. This decision allows 20 parking spaces to be used by Civilised Car Hire, regularising an existing use that began in July 2025.
During the September 2026 meeting, Councillor James Moyse raised concerns about the stability of a retaining wall bordering the Myatts Field Court site. Planning officers noted the existing car park was under-utilised by residents before the approval.
