Bromley Local Plan
Bromley Council is applying its Local Plan policies, most recently refusing a Petts Wood extension, while the plan's impact on housing development is discussed.
Bromley Council's Plans Sub-Committee No. 1 refused a proposed extension at 1 Ryecroft Road, Petts Wood, on August 13, 2026. The committee determined that the development's scale, bulk, and massing would create an incongruous addition to the dwelling, unbalancing its appearance and being detrimental to visual amenities.
The Bromley Local Plan, which sets out the council’s planning policies and identifies how land is used and developed in the borough, was discussed at the Bromley Economic Partnership meeting on October 14, 2025. An update on the plan, which will likely impact housing development, was scheduled to be provided by Ben Johnson.
