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 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.
19/02032/FUL | 78-80 COLDHARBOUR LANE, LONDON, SE5
Change of use of units 78 and 80 into one A3 use (Restaurant/Cafe) together with the erection of a single storey rear extension 78-80 COLDHARBOUR LANE LONDON SE5.
This is a proposal to convert two empty shops into one unit. Both are vacant, one had traded successfully as a coffee shop/restaurant and the other was a laundrette.
The proposal involves creating a new kitchen at ground floor level to the rear in part of the external yard area, utilising existing agreed locations for flue extract (at high level on a concealed flank wall).
Refuse is dealt with at the rear of the store. There is little visible apart from the new shop front ("Aluminium crittall-style"), and the conversion will create a good sized restaurant. This is opposite many of the research facilities at Kings, so should be viable.
The Camberwell Society supports this application and to create a Restaurant Cafe facility in this location. The size will assist viability and with the KCH recent expanded facilities opposite, there should be sufficient demand.
