Councillor Finna Ayres

Agenda

The Wandsworth Council Conservation and Heritage Advisory Committee met on 14 July 2025 to discuss several planning applications, including a 34-storey tower building next to the Heliport, a two-storey dwellinghouse on Burstock Road, revisions to proposals for The Grapes pub on Fairfield Street, and alterations to the London Rowing Club. The committee raised objections to the Heliport House proposal, expressed mixed views on The Grapes, and supported the London Rowing Club application.

They also approved a request to increase pupil numbers at Finton House School.

Agenda and decisions

The Housing Overview and Scrutiny Committee were scheduled to discuss the Regulator of Social Housing's inspection report, the council's approach to damp and mould, and housing management complaints. Also on the agenda was the Housing Overview and Scrutiny Committee's outturn report for 2024/25, the Wandsworth Corporate Plan actions, and the committee's work programme.

Agenda

The annual meeting of Wandsworth Council saw Councillor Jeremy Ambache elected as Mayor for the second time, and Councillor Rosemary Birchall appointed as Deputy Mayor.
