Discharge of Condition Approved for a Planning application in Greenwich

We are pleased to highlight the successful discharge of Conditions 4 (Cycle Parking Facilities) and 5 ( Refuse Storage units) pursuant to planning permission Ref: 25/2180/F, granted by the Royal Borough of Greenwich on the 4^th of September 2025. Through proactive dialogue with council officers and a clear understanding of local policy requirements, we secured approval of these reserved details efficiently, allowing the development to progress without delay

This application demonstrates the importance of careful post-permission management. While often perceived as a procedural stage, the submission of condition details can present risks if handled poorly, particularly in boroughs such as Greenwich where standards for sustainability, residential amenity, and public realm integration are closely scrutinised. By engaging early with officers and presenting well considered, policy compliant proposals, we ensured the cycle parking and refuse arrangements met both functional needs and the council’s expectations

The approved cycle parking facilities provide practical, accessible, and policy aligned solutions that support sustainable travel choices, a key priority for the borough. Likewise, the refuse storage arrangements were designed to be discreet, accessible, and operationally efficient, safeguarding residential amenity while satisfying waste management requirements. Together, these approvals remove uncertainty for the client and represent a critical step toward implementation

For our client, the benefits were clear: a smooth discharge of conditions, avoidance of unnecessary revisions, and confidence that the development remains fully compliant with planning controls. Most importantly, this approach protected programme timescales and reduced the risk of enforcement or occupation delays, issues that can have real financial consequences if not managed correctly
