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.

Construction of an L-shaped dormer extension to the main rear roof slope and outrigger roof, to include the raising of a party wall; creation of a roof terrace to the outrigger roof at third floor level; installation of rooflights to the front roof slope.
This property sits on the corner on the south side of Oswyth Road. The Design and Access Statement claims the loft proposal falls within permitted development. The reason for applying for approval would seem to be the roof terrace and the use of different materials. The rear dormer is proposed to be clad in copper cladding and the roof terrace guarded in stainless steel wired balustrade. The proposal would seem to be aimed at high quality finishes and could lift the appearance of this street corner. Whilst roof terraces are often not liked due to potential overlooking, being on a street corner, in this case that would not seem to be an issue.
Comment: No objection
