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.

19/AP/1150 | DOUGLAS BENNETT HOUSE, MAUDSLEY HOSPITAL, WINDSOR WALK, LONDON, SE5 8AZ
June 2019
Demolition of the existing building and erection of a new five storey building to accommodate a new in-patient mental health facility comprising 8 wards together with associated landscape works. The mental health facility proposed by this application is unsympathetic to its surroundings in terms of scale and design:
Massing: the 5 storey building plus rooftop plant room is out of scale with the existing Victorian terrace which the Camberwell Society has worked hard to protect from unsympathetic re-development in the past and it will be clearly visible from Denmark Hill Station uphill from the site.
Design: The Windsor Walk elevation proposed is not sympathetic to the existing buildings adjacent. Its large areas of brickwork and render and its extraordinary protruding glazed and angled corner contrasts unhelpfully with the orderly succession of vertical and horizontal lines which characterise the rest of the street elevation
The Camberwell Society objects to this proposal on the grounds that it is an inappropriately bulky and an inappropriate intervention in Windsor Walk
