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.

219 Camberwell New Road, London SE5 0TJ Ref 21/AP/3278

January 2022

Construction of mansard roof extension to provide a three-bedroom flat, including the demolition of the existing ancillary buildings to the rear at ground floor and the construction of a rear extension at ground floor to provide additional outdoor garden space including a terrace areas at first floor. | 219 Camberwell New Road London Southwark SE5 0TJ

This application provides for the removal of ancillary buildings to the rear of the buildings on the Camberwell New Road frontage which will result in welcome outdoor amenity space for the houses on the Farmer’s Road frontage and a more coherent elevation along Wyndham Road.

The Camberwell Society’s only reservation is the height of the proposed mansard extension to the buildings along Camberwell New Road which will create a top floor significantly taller than the floors below. Whilst some increase in height is justifiable on the corner plot, a lower mansard roof would be more appropriate.
