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.
15/07316/FUL | KINGDOM HALL REAR OF 197 COLDHARBOUR LANE, LONDON, SE5 9PA
Conversion of part of an existing place of worship to residential use (C3), Demolition of remainder and construction of new place of worship to the R/O Coldharbour Lane.
There is a fairly grim asbestos shed looking hall at the back at present and the rest of the site area gravelled for parking accessed off Padfield Road.
The new single storey building fills much more of the site and no parking. The building is a simple single storey building with a shallow pitched roof to a central ridge not much higher to ridge that the present building and same eaves height. The building will be closer on the site to the backs of houses 2a-10 Cambria Road built in recent years with a 1.8 timber rear fence. The additional impact would be minimal and possibly an improved aspect compared to the present building and cars parked.
Comment: no objection
