What local planning policy applies to a drawing package in SE28?

SE28 (Thamesmead) conservation designations: there are 20 across Greenwich Council, Greenwich Town Centre (World Heritage Site), Blackheath, Charlton among them. Designation costs a SE28 (Thamesmead) owner the permitted-development route: a drawing package then needs a £548 householder application over 8 weeks, in place of the £249 prior approval route that takes 6 weeks. Eltham Park is the SE28 (Thamesmead) designation that most often changes a drawing package design.

SE28 (Thamesmead) permitted development status: there is no borough-wide direction from Greenwich Council, so a drawing package at a SE28 address is normally still permitted development. We certify that with a £274 Lawful Development Certificate rather than leaving a SE28 (Thamesmead) sale to argue it later.

SE28 (Thamesmead) housing stock: Georgian in Greenwich town centre; Victorian terraces in East Greenwich, Charlton; inter-war semi-detached in Eltham; new-build along the riverside. World Heritage Site status in Greenwich town centre adds heritage weight; outer borough areas (Eltham, Thamesmead) generally permissive. Read that before choosing a drawing package route in SE28 (Thamesmead) — construction, not postcode, sets what is achievable. Greenwich Council charges £548 for a householder application and has 8 weeks to determine it.

Who decides a drawing package on the edge of SE28?

• Bromley — the Bromley boundary runs against Greenwich, so a drawing package a street from SE28 (Thamesmead) is decided by Bromley Council instead. Bromley runs 48 conservation areas across BR1 and its neighbours, which is why architectural drawings priced for SE28 (Thamesmead) are re-checked against Bromley policy whenever the SE28 (Thamesmead) address sits on that edge.
• Newham — the Newham boundary runs against Greenwich, so a drawing package a street from SE28 (Thamesmead) is decided by Newham Council instead. Newham runs 10 conservation areas across E6 and its neighbours, which is why architectural drawings priced for SE28 (Thamesmead) are re-checked against Newham policy whenever the SE28 (Thamesmead) address sits on that edge.
• Tower Hamlets — cross the SE28 (Thamesmead) boundary and Tower Hamlets Council takes the drawing package instead, applying 58 conservation areas of its own around E1. We re-price architectural drawings at the SE28 (Thamesmead) edge because Tower Hamlets policy and Greenwich policy rarely align on drawing package depth.
• Lewisham — the Lewisham boundary runs against Greenwich, so a drawing package a street from SE28 (Thamesmead) is decided by Lewisham Council instead. Lewisham runs 30 conservation areas across SE3 and its neighbours, which is why architectural drawings priced for SE28 (Thamesmead) are re-checked against Lewisham policy whenever the SE28 (Thamesmead) address sits on that edge.
