Retrospective application in Slade Green

A planning application has been submitted for a property at 15 Oak Road, situated within the Oak Road Conservation Area. The applicant, V Lesko, is seeking retrospective permission for the erection of a detached single-storey outbuilding in the rear garden.

Because the property sits within a designated conservation area, the council must assess whether the structure maintains the character and appearance of the historic neighborhood. Residents can view the full plans under reference 26/00779/FUL. Any representations must be submitted by 27 May 2026.

Sidcup conservation area window upgrades

In Sidcup, Mrs C Royce has applied for permission to modify 29 Station Road, located in the Christ Church Conservation Area. The proposal involves replacing existing windows with uPVC double-glazed units. Additionally, the external doors are slated for replacement with composite or uPVC materials designed to match the existing aesthetic.

Bexley planning updates for Slade Green and Sidcup residents

Under the Town and Country Planning Act 1990, these changes require specific approval to ensure modern materials do not clash with the architectural heritage of Station Road. The reference for this application is 26/00785/FUL.

How to submit observations

Richard Turek, Head of Development Management, has confirmed that all public responses will be made available for inspection under the Local Government (Access to Information) Act 1995. Residents can use the Planning Application Information Online system or send written responses to the Civic Offices in Bexleyheath.

Observations must be received within 21 days of the notice date. Submissions should clearly state the relevant application reference number and include the sender’s contact details for the public record.
