The Planning sub-committee reviews all SE5 planning applications received by Southwark and Lambeth Councils that have an impact on the Camberwell area. Applications are reviewed to ensure that they are appropriate to their surroundings and that sufficient information has been submitted with the application.
Members comments received prior to discussion at the next meeting are always recorded and considered
Regularly we host developers and their designers with their proposals both at pre and at planning application stage and review their proposals and provide considered suggestions.
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, Valerie Balleny, Elizabeth Borowiecka, Jason Leech, Robert Potz, Jonathan Hunt and Sandra Simpson.
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.
Meetings of the Planning sub-committee are usually held in the evenings at monthly intervals.

19/AP/7556 | 13 ADDINGTON SQUARE, LONDON, SE5 7JZ
November 2020
Construction of a single storey rear extension, a ground floor bay window to the rear of the outrigger. A detached single storey studio room with a bin and cycle store and a new 1.8m rear boundary garden brick wall adjoining 14 Addington Square and the removal of 2 garden cherry trees. This proposal is a significant improvement on the previous proposal and does indeed respect the original listed buildings rear wall and original fenestration and ensures the extension is sympathetic and subordinate to its neighbouring pair as well as providing sensible and useable accommodation. We note the proposal to build a brick boundary wall to 1.8m high where previously there had been a timber fence and trust the textured brick wall proposed will respect the tradition of a stock brick garden wall as found in heritage properties from this period.
The Camberwell Society supports this scheme.
