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.
16/01129/FUL | PLOT CORNER OF CUTCOMBE ROAD AND BAVENT ROAD AND ADJACENT TO 55 TO 56 BAVENT ROAD, LONDON, SE5
Erection of a 2 storey dwelling house
The society thinks that this would fit in well on the corner site. The house is designed to match the façade of the rest of the terrace but planned well internal to make a sensible three-bedroom house including using the roof space. The site is on about a 70 degree angle with Cutcombe Road so tapers to the back. The corner is the bins and bike store with sharp corner angle. This would be a much better feature on the corner preferably if rounded or a number of angles. It would not affect the usable space and would enable the wall to Cutcombe Road to better follow the boundary.
Comment: support the proposal (with suggested amendment)
