The Planning sub-committee reviews all SE5 planning applications received by Southwark and Lambeth Councils that have an impact on the Camberwell area. Applications are reviewed to ensure that they are appropriate to their surroundings and that sufficient information has been submitted with the application.
Members comments received prior to discussion at the next meeting are always recorded and considered
Regularly we host developers and their designers with their proposals both at pre and at planning application stage and review their proposals and provide considered suggestions.
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, Valerie Balleny, Elizabeth Borowiecka, Jason Leech, Robert Potz, Jonathan Hunt and Sandra Simpson.
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.
Meetings of the Planning sub-committee are usually held in the evenings at monthly intervals.

15/AP/0218 | 138-142 CAMBERWELL ROAD, LONDON SE5 0EE
November 2020
Construction of one new floor to Nos.138 and 140 Camberwell Road and two new floors and a four storey part rear extension to No.142 in order to create 4 x1 bedroom self-contained flats and the increase in floor area to the ground floor commercial unit and the enlargement of the existing flats.
Whilst there is nothing wrong with the floor spaces proposed for the additional flats and the scale of what is proposed in extending these properties to resemble others in the scale with others in the terrace, the copy and paste look gives concerns as to how the proposals would actually look.
The visuals of proposed elevations are a copy and paste using Adobe Photoshop or similar to add another floor with bits from lower floors and as such looks unconvincing.
The existing elevations have inappropriate UPVC windows which are replicated in add the additions.
We object to these proposals in terms of the unconvincing detailed design and inappropriate use of materials.
