Councillor Emmeline Owens

Agenda and decisions

The Children's Overview and Scrutiny Committee endorsed both the new Young Wandsworth Strategy and the new Play in Wandsworth strategy. The Committee also noted the annual Children's Services statutory complaints report and agreed the new Children's Act 1989 Statutory Complaints Policy. After lengthy discussion, the committee recommended that the Executive approve the beginning of the pre-proposal consultation on the closure of Bradstow School in Broadstairs, Kent. The Committee noted both the quarterly key performance indicator report and the budget monitoring for quarter two.

Agenda and decisions

The committee approved five planning applications: the construction of seven new homes at Tolan Square, the redevelopment of the Ackroydon Community Centre to provide 13 affordable homes and a replacement community centre, the demolition of a house at 21 Rowena Crescent and its replacement with a larger one, the construction of eight new intermediate rent homes at Vision Point on Yelverton Road, and a traffic order to enable the movement of a Network Rail structure near Aldrington Road. The committee also confirmed two Tree Preservation Orders, TPO 491/2024 and 492/2024.

The Committee objected to applications to build a 10-storey student accommodation block at 2 Armoury Way, a 28-storey mixed-use building at The Glassmill on Battersea Bridge Road, and a mixed-use development on the site of the Former Gasworks on Swandon Way. The Committee supported an application to extend the Northcote Public House, but raised some concerns about the proposed materials that would be used.
