Councillor James Jeffreys

Wandsworth Council

The Wandsworth Council Planning Applications Committee convened to discuss several planning and enforcement matters, including a controversial five-storey development on Upper Tooting Road, which was ultimately refused due to its disharmony with local planning policies and heritage concerns. The committee also approved domestic extensions to maisonettes on Khartoum Road, and two single-storey dwellings on Theatre Street, while authorising enforcement action for breaches of planning control at Many Gates and Parkgate Road.
