Planning committee

Decided by Wandsworth Planning Applications Committee on 25 Jun 2026.

Approved unanimously

As officers recommended.

  • Officers advised approval because the scheme would provide housing without harming the conservation area, neighbours or the listed church setting.
  • Residents mainly objected to design, heritage, privacy, daylight, overshadowing, access, construction disruption and ecological matters.
  • The committee unanimously granted permission as set out in the report, noting late correspondence.

Site constraints 9

Clapham Common conservation area
Demolition needs planning permission and permitted development is restricted.
The council must give weight to preserving or enhancing the area's character and appearance. Not every council has published its boundaries as open data.
Council document ↗
Air quality management area: Wandsworth AQMA
The council has declared the area as failing an air quality objective.
Schemes that add traffic, parking or combustion plant are assessed against the area's action plan and may need an air quality assessment.
Council record ↗
National infrastructure project 650 m away: Thames Tideway Tunnel
The site is 650 m from the project boundary. Waste water treatment, decided. The project page says whether consent was granted.
Nationally significant infrastructure projects (power stations, electricity lines, pipelines, major roads and railways, harbours, airports and reservoirs) are consented by a Secretary of State under the Planning Act 2008, after an examination by the Planning Inspectorate, rather than by the council. The boundary is the one the Inspectorate consults on and can change as the scheme does. Projects are shown within 2 km of the site.
Planning Inspectorate project page ↗
4 listed buildings within 150 m
Nearest: St Barnabas Church Hall, Grade II, 55 m away · 4 Grade II
The site itself is not listed. Listed building consent is needed for work that affects the special interest of a listed building, inside or out, on top of planning permission. Setting can be a consideration for buildings nearby; there is no fixed radius.
