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.

Roof extension to the top floor flat (Flat C) to create a two bedroom flat at 3rd floor and associated terrace with balustrade and screens.
This application is erroneous as the “as existing” is not built yet. The site is the previous building partially demolished to start altering. The when built design is as a modern building but the box perched on the roof looks at odds with the main design akin to water tank or plant room perched on the roof of some blocks of flats.
The access stairs up to the additional space appears to mess up a reasonable plan form of the original approved plan. The extension does nothing for the overall look of the building and would be an eyesore for the flats directly behind and their aspect out towards Burgess Park, the opposite side of Albany Road. The building would be best constructed as approved without the addition.
The Camberwell Society objects to this proposal.
