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.

Erection of a single storey side and rear extensions at basement level and erection of two storey rear extension at ground and first floor level together with associated alterations.
The proposal is a well presented proposal to modernise and extend this terrace property.
The proposed rear extension projects out further than the neighbours adjoining extension and is two stories above ground. This can often lead to overshadowing but as this property is on the north side this should not be an issue. The extension is set away from the adjoining property on the other side.
A daylight assessment is probably needed to be sure, and to address possible concerns, but is not included in the submitted documentation.
The Camberwell Society does not object to this proposal subject to a satisfactory daylight and sunlight assessment.
