Planning appeal decision
11 Edward Road, Bromley, BR1 3NG
Planning appeal 6000540 at 11 Edward Road, Bromley, BR1 3NG (London Borough of Bromley) was dismissed on 20 January 2026 by Inspector McDonagh C, by written representations. The main issue, as the Inspector framed it: Whether prior approval should be granted having regard to the proposed development's effect on the external appearance of the dwellinghouse and on the amenity of any adjoining premises.
A new floor will be added to the existing house at 11 Edward Road, as part of the planned development. The extension was carefully planned to fit in with the rest of the neighbourhood's style while having as little of an effect as possible on nearby homes
