impact on neighbouring amenity

3 stories · 3 councils

Bexley Council is currently considering the impact of a proposed residential development on neighbouring amenity.

Bexley Council's Planning Committee deferred a residential development application in July 2026, citing concerns about its potential impact on neighbouring amenity. The committee sought further consideration of amendments for the six new dwellings proposed for Broomfield Road, Bexleyheath.

Earlier, in February 2026, Greenwich Council's Local Planning Committee approved a six-bedroom House in Multiple Occupation on Tewson Road. This decision was made despite Councillor Kari citing concerns about overdevelopment and impact on neighbouring amenity.
