Through the work of the sub-committee, the Society has been instrumental in saving many buildings of note including Addington Square, Denmark Hill Station and part of Windsor Walk. The Society has also been instrumental in influencing new development to make a positive contribution to the area, and works with local residents and tenants groups where there are common issues. The current composition of the Planning sub-committee is: Tim Gaymer, Anthony Kyrke-Smith, Elizabeth Borowiecka, Jason Leech, Robert Potz, Jonathan Hunt, Paul Cohoon, Somayya Yaqub, Michael Galt and Tom Harvey. Potential new members are welcome to attend a meeting as an observer initially. The Society is currently under represented by members from the Myatt Fields and Brunswick Park areas.

Conversion to form 1 x 2 bed flat and 1 x 1 bed flat with bathroom and extension.
This Listed Building is part of the parade of shops on the right-hand side heading towards the Oval.
The upper two-bedroom maisonette seems to exist. The shop is noted as a live-work unit. The shop front room is almost double storey before stepping up to the rear room. So there is just a shallow storage below the front, but the proposal is to add the rear basement derelict room to the unit as a bedroom and to remove an ad-hoc lean-to rear extension and reduce to just the outrigger renovating this as a bathroom, all of which seems entirely sensible.
The unit will benefit from use of garden and reinstatement of the rear wall and gate out to the service access to shops and flats to the rear.
The Camberwell society raises no objection to this proposal.
