In March 2026, Greenwich Local Planning Committee deferred a plan to convert a Plumstead property into a House in Multiple Occupation (HMO). The application for 82 Bramblebury Road was put on hold due to significant safety concerns regarding access to cycle storage, potential harm to a conservation area, and an inadequate management plan for the proposed six-occupant HMO.

This decision indicates that councils are scrutinising the provision of secure facilities for bicycle storage when reviewing planning applications for new developments. No upcoming meetings are currently scheduled to discuss cycle storage based on the provided information.
