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
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 Conservation and Heritage Advisory Committee objected to two applications, recommended approval of one and recommended refusal of another. They objected to proposals to erect banner adverts on Waterfall House, a Grade II listed building in Tooting, and on Wandsworth Town Hall. An application to demolish and rebuild a house at 70, Thurleigh Road was also opposed due to the loss of the existing building and trees, concerns about car parking, and the design of the proposed replacement. An application to extend the Star and Garter on Lower Richmond Road and convert it to residential use was supported.
Agenda and decisions
The Committee voted to refuse planning permission for a mixed-use development of student accommodation and affordable housing on Battersea Park Road, and to grant planning permission for the demolition of an industrial building on Lidden Road and its replacement with a new industrial building. The Committee also voted to grant planning permission for the construction of a new Renal Centre building at St George's Hospital.
Agenda and decisions
The committee approved all 12 of the applications that were put before it, with the exception of a controversial application at 150a-170 Penwith Road and 2-8 Thornsett Road in Earlsfield, where councillors voted against the recommendation to approve the scheme.
