Agenda item

Report: see pages 14 to 24 of the agenda.

The committee heard an officer’s introduction to the report and the committee asked questions of the officer.

The committee requested the design and conservation officer to consider amending section three of the terms of reference (Appendix 1 to the report) to reflect that the advisory group’s comments held some weight in respect of the determination of planning applications. The committee suggested that the planning process would be further improved if the advisory group was routinely invited to comment on developments at the pre-application stage.

RESOLVED:

1.  To note that the council will shortly advertise for members for the 2014/16 Southwark Design Review Panel.

2.  To note that the council will shortly advertise for members for the 2014/16 Southwark Conservation Areas Advisory Group.
