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 a loft conversion using an 'L' shaped rear dormer extension with Juliette balcony, plus two roof lights to the front slope, to provide additional residential accommodation & Construction of a ground floor side and rear single storey extension.
The proposed rear dormer extension with extension over the outrigger would appear to be within the scope of permitted development. The volume may be more than the 40 M3 and therefore the reason for the application. There are some but not many other loft conversions in this street. The existing roof space height seems tight for conversions which may explain this. None of those seen (from Google Earth) goes out over the outrigger. This said the proposal would not seem to adversely affect any adjoining property.
