20 Jun Upward extension in Newham’s Row refused planning permission

Recently a planning application was received by Southwark Council for an upward extension to 2 Newham’s Row creating extra space for 6 new flats. Local residents and BermondseyStreet.London objected on the grounds of over-development in a tight site, compromising the next-door Bermondsey Street conservation area in a very visible way and potentially overlooking  existing flats in neighbouring blocks.

We heard the happy news this week that the Council has refused the application.
