A planning application would put two new houses on land to the rear of 344-348 Lee High Road, in Lee Green. Lewisham Council registered it on 12 October.
The plans also include landscaping, private garden space, cycle parking, bin storage and green roofs. It is a full application for the two houses, not a larger scheme.
Neighbours are the ones to watch, because the question with backland homes is how close they sit and how high. Two houses with green roofs and cycle storage is a modest ask by London standards; the test is whether the design respects the properties around it.
