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.

17/AP/3615 | LAND TO THE REAR OF 44 GROVE LANE, LONDON, SE5 8ST
August 2018
17/AP/3615 - Alterations to the existing single storey buildings to facilitate the change of use from ancillary residential accommodation to a separate dwelling on land rear of 44 Grove Lane with access via Kerfield Place. LAND TO THE REAR OF 44 GROVE LANE, LONDON, SE5 8ST
The proposal is admirably circumspect in its impact on the surrounding buildings on Kerfield Place, fitting seamlessly into the existing street elevation, with an economical footprint and specific acknowledgement of the existing pointed gables adjacent, and also the change in street level . The internal planning is also exemplary.
Two areas of concern, if the building is to be a separate dwelling, are that there is no garden attached and the blank wall facing the rear of 42 Grove Lane is uncompromising. However, it should be possible to rectify these points satisfactorily.
