57 MILBOROUGH CRESCENT, LONDON, SE12 0RR
Construction of a 4 Bedroom dwellinghouse, together with the provision of car parking and cycle spaces, bin storage and all associated works on land at 57 Millborough Crescent SE12.
The proposed development by reason of its Flood Zone 3a and proximity to the River Quaggy would result in an increase flood risk to the local area and prevent access and maintenance to the river. In addition, the development fails the sequential and exceptions tests due to the failure to identify compatible alternative sites and demonstrate that the development will be safe for its lifetime without increasing flood risk elsewhere. The development is therefore contrary to The National Planning Policy Framework (2024), Policy SI 12 of the London Plan (2021) and Policies SD7 and SD9 of the Lewisham Local Plan (July 2025).
The proposed development, by reason of its excessive scale and height and siting on the common boundary would have a detrimental impact on the ground floor living conditions currently enjoyed by the occupiers of No. 57 Milborough Crescent in terms of the loss of daylight/sunlight and outlook and being overbearing. The proposed development is therefore contrary to Paragraph 135(f) of The National Planning Policy Framework (December 2024), Policy QD9 of the Lewisham Local Plan (July 2025), and the provisions of the Council's Alterations and Extensions SPD (2019).
