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.

Partial demolition of existing building (rear part) and construction of a rear/side extension at second, third and fourth floor (roof) level incorporating a lift shaft, construction of a rear dormer window extension and the undertaking of associated external alterations to facilitate, (i) the change of use of an existing vacant public house (Use Class A4) at ground-floor and basement level to provide two retail units (Use Class A1) and, (ii) the creation of 7no. 1 x bed flats on the first, second, third and fourth floors (Use Class C3). (Partially retrospective)
This proposal creates two sensibly sized shops on the ground floor and a central entry to the flats. Whilst regretting the loss of a public house, it has long been vacant. The society has no objection.
