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.
19/AP/1276 | ADMIRAL COURT, LOMOND GROVE SE5 7GY
Construction of a 3-storey roof extension to provide 5 new residential units, upgrading of facade, minor reconfiguration of existing flats Nos. 3, 8 and 9, and replacement of existing windows.
This is replacing one thin six-storey corner building (which we recall replaced a three or four-storey hostel type ex-pub) with another but higher - eight/part nine-storey building. The replacement looks marginally better that the one that it replaces. The position is slightly isolated from other buildings being located on the end of Lomond Grove meeting Bowyer Place/New Church Road. There is a tower block on the opposite side of Lomond Grove meeting Bowyer Place. This means that the replacement building will have little or no additional effect on anything nearby.
Camberwell Society does not see a reason to comment or object.
