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.

Construction of a second storey extension and replacement of windows to front and rear of existing terrace. The proposed extension would change the Victorian house at 65 Grove Hill Road from being a replica of the house at 67 Grove Hill Road into a replica of the house at 63 Grove Hill Road.
This seems reasonable as long as the materials and detailing are Victorian. The description of the proposed new windows as “sash type or similar look” casts this into doubt.
The Camberwell Society has no objection to this application as long as the new sash windows are timber and of traditional construction. This should be a condition of any permission granted.
