Does SE14 planning policy restrict a drawing package?

Conservation areas covering SE14 (New Cross): Lewisham Council runs 30, and Forest Hill, Hither Green, Lee Green are the ones SE14 (New Cross) owners meet most. A drawing package inside a SE14 (New Cross) conservation area loses permitted development, so the SE14 (New Cross) submission is a householder application at £548 decided in 8 weeks — not a £249 prior approval decided in 6 weeks. In Hither Green a drawing package is judged on the street elevation first.

No blanket Article 4 over SE14 (New Cross): Lewisham Council has not withdrawn permitted development across SE14 (New Cross), so a drawing package outside a SE14 (New Cross) conservation area usually keeps it. The £274 Lawful Development Certificate is still the document a SE14 owner wants on file.

SE14 (New Cross) housing stock: Victorian and Edwardian terraces across Brockley, Honor Oak, Forest Hill; 1930s semi-detached in Catford and Hither Green; post-war mixed in Deptford. Generally permissive planning compared to central boroughs; loft conversions and side-return extensions routinely approved under PD. Read that before choosing a drawing package route in SE14 (New Cross) — construction, not postcode, sets what is achievable. Lewisham Council charges £548 for a householder application and has 8 weeks to determine it.

What happens if a SE14 property sits on a boundary?

• Southwark — the Southwark boundary runs against Lewisham, so a drawing package a street from SE14 (New Cross) is decided by Southwark Council instead. Southwark runs 43 conservation areas across SE1 and its neighbours, which is why architectural drawings priced for SE14 (New Cross) are re-checked against Southwark policy whenever the SE14 (New Cross) address sits on that edge.
• Greenwich — the Greenwich boundary runs against Lewisham, so a drawing package a street from SE14 (New Cross) is decided by Greenwich Council instead. Greenwich runs 20 conservation areas across SE3 and its neighbours, which is why architectural drawings priced for SE14 (New Cross) are re-checked against Greenwich policy whenever the SE14 (New Cross) address sits on that edge.
• Bromley — cross the SE14 (New Cross) boundary and Bromley Council takes the drawing package instead, applying 48 conservation areas of its own around BR1. We re-price architectural drawings at the SE14 (New Cross) edge because Bromley policy and Lewisham policy rarely align on drawing package depth.
• Tower Hamlets — cross the SE14 (New Cross) boundary and Tower Hamlets Council takes the drawing package instead, applying 58 conservation areas of its own around E1.
