Councillor Emmeline Owens

Agenda and draft minutes

The Conservation and Heritage Advisory Committee objected to three planning applications and supported one at their meeting on 10 September 2024. The Committee expressed serious concerns over plans to extend a locally listed house in Northcote, the proposed extension to a house on Bolingbroke Grove and the redevelopment of the Tootingbeck Lodge site. The Committee did not object to plans to extend a house on Nepean Street.

Agenda and decisions

The committee approved applications for a new intensive therapy unit at St. George's Hospital, a temporary licence for a flower stall outside Clapham Junction Station, minor alterations to the Riverside Business Centre, the construction of 2 dormer windows at 23 & 25 Oxford Road, and new houses and flats on a car parking space on Swaffield Road. The committee also agreed to authorise enforcement action to return a basement flat at 310 Queenstown Road to its original use, and to confirm a Tree Preservation Order for an oak tree at the Roehampton Sports & Fitness Centre.

Agenda

The Council meeting began with tributes to recently deceased former Councillors Neville Daniels, Shawn Creighton, Lois Lee, and tributes were also read out on behalf of Councillor Ravi Govindia who could not be present. Councillor Peter Graham proposed an adjournment to highlight the Alton Renewal Plan, which the Council voted for. The Conservative group proposed a motion of no confidence in the Labour administration, arguing that it was incompetent, secretive, and unresponsive to residents’ concerns, particularly regarding waste collection and alleged changes to the constitution to avoid scrutiny. This motion was defeated. Councillor Cassidy proposed a second adjournment, this time to highlight the impact of the closure of Hammersmith Bridge. This motion was defeated too. The Council voted to approve changes to the constitution, and to approve the Housing and Annual Resources report. Finally, a Labour group motion stating that the Council will work with the national government to deliver on shared policy objectives was passed.

Agenda and draft minutes

The committee objected to four applications: The Glass Mill, a kiosk outside Clapham Junction Station, the redevelopment of phase 3C of the Battersea Power Station, and the addition of an extra story to Dial House. They did not object to two: the infill development at 6 Summerstown, and the reserved matters for the redevelopment of phase 3C of Battersea Power Station.

Agenda and decisions

The committee approved all of the applications discussed at the meeting. These included plans for new council housing in Roehampton, the redevelopment of a site on Gwynn Road in Battersea, and a change of use for a gym on Falcon Road in Clapham Junction.
