Councillor Sara Apps

Agenda and decisions

The Wandsworth Planning Applications Committee met on 24 April 2025, to discuss several planning applications, tree preservation orders, and reports. The most significant item was an application for The Glass Mill, which the committee voted to refuse. Other key items included a decision on The Lodge, and discussions around traffic implications and sustainability.

Agenda and draft minutes

The meeting approved the Council’s budget, including a council tax freeze for the third year in a row. The meeting also approved a package of reforms to the Council’s constitution, including new rules about which decisions are treated as “key decisions” and a new process for scrutinising Cabinet decisions.

Agenda

This meeting was scheduled to discuss the council's response to a consultation on standards and conduct, a report on complaints made, and how the council provides training to ensure that councillors know and follow the rules.

Agenda

The council approved the Housing Revenue Account (HRA) Budget and Rent Setting 2025/26 and a number of amendments to the Council's Standing Orders, following the walkout of all Conservative Councillors after the refusal of a motion to bring forward a debate on the possible closure of Bradstow School. The council also noted a number of supplementary items.

Agenda

The committee noted the Democracy Review Progress Report and agreed to two amendments to the Council's Standing Orders. The first amendment limits Councillors to asking just the first supplementary question after their original question in Council meetings, and the second amendment removes Councillors' ability to 'call-in' planning decisions for further scrutiny by the full Council.
