Political.

Who runs Lewisham, and what its planning record did over the loaded years. Composition and control from the membership records; the approval line from the borough's own decisions. The individual members and their votes sit in the committee record.

Hover to preview any year; click to set the year shown on the map — the wards recolour to that year's own approval rates. The line is unannotated: any relationship between elections and the planning record is left for the reader. Which party controlled the council in earlier cycles isn't loaded yet, so no control ribbon is drawn — nothing is guessed.

Committee votes by party — all loaded minutes

Per-member detail →

How each party's members on the planning committee have voted on the applications in the loaded minutes, aggregated. Per-year splits need dated vote records — not yet loaded, so no year filter is offered here.[3]
