PLANNING APPLICATIONS

at the Society’s Committee meeting of 11 March 2004

Other pressures prevented the production of a new list of planning applications, but the Committee was pleased to hear from the Secretary that he had received thanks for earlier efforts by the Society.

The Society had supported the Hayter Road residents' group in their objection to the replacement of two large Victorian houses. The residents were successful in persuading Lambeth's Planning Committee to reject the proposal.

Thanks were also received for help in successfully objecting to a proposed mobile phone mast in Lansdowne Way near Stockwell bus garage.
