As a nearby resident I received a letter from Lewisham Council regarding an application to demolish Hill House 28a Sydenham Hill SE26 and the change of use, alteration and extension to 28 Sydenham Hill. Application No is DC/15/094733. However, I can't find any reference to it on the Lewisham Council website. Does anyone have any more information on this? Thanks!

If you go to http://planning.lewisham.gov.uk/online-applications/ and enter the reference number in the search box you should be able to see full details. Hope that helps!

I'm right next to Hill House. The site will see 4 new jobs created after being built.

Thanks for the tip off on this. I tried searching on the website but got an error.
What are they demolishing? Surely not Hill House itself (the Victorian detached house)?
Thanks

No the care home at the rear of.

Thanks for the various responses. I did originally search the planning website but could find nothing but looked again a few days later and found it. I've since seen the various planning documents loaded onto the site but can't really get a sense of how the new building compares (in terms of size, location, shape, impact on neighbouring houses etc) with the existing building. Would therefore welcome any views on this.
