You only have to look at what happened with the Tyson Road site to see what will happen here.

I think about 4 of the TPO trees were lost after planning permission was granted including one of the only two grade A trees on the site. The rest of the site was scraped clean of any existing vegetation by the builders. It is now planted up like a Homebase yard.

You can judge the credibility and competence of Lewisham's planners by their track record.

The other thing that will happen is that they will give planning permission for one development and then agree various changes demanded by the developer effectively undermining the control that the planning permission process should impose.
