Agenda item

In addition to the comments relating to the consultation, members discussed the inclusion of the area north of Peckham High Street to the west of Kentish Drovers public house, which was currently included in the proposal. Members discussed the appearance of buildings in this area and whether they were of special character and architectural merit and occurrences of anti-social behaviour. Members expressed concerns that inclusion in the conservation area could limit needed development opportunities in the area. The Design Officer explained that inclusion in the conservation area does allow for development in the future and would enhance the design of any future plans.
